Gender awareness training

It takes a lot for women in Nepal to speak in front of an audience, especially when that audience includes men. This training brought the men and women, educated and uneducated, of the village together, to talk about male and female roles and responsibilities.

Tharu women traditionally have greater equality than women of other ethnic groups but this equality is being eroded due to increased contact with people from outside the area. The SWC wants to foster pride in these positive aspects of
Tharu culture in order to prevent them dying out.
