Nepal Disabled Women Association (NDWA) is a non-government organization (NGO) established in 1998, led by women with disability. NDWA has been working since its establishment for the empowerment of women with disabilities to ensure and utilize their fundamental rights through focused program on education, health, livelihood, rehabilitation, meaningful participation and representation by doing advocacy, capacity building and awareness raising. Women with disabilities still face discrimination and isolation from the nation & community due to the lack of awareness, education, communication, access in health, poor economic condition, mobility barrier, less employment & job opportunities, lack of proper government system/mechanism, lack of supporting policies and proper implementation. NDWA with its work throughout the years has been able to achieve many positive results on education, health, economic, livelihood & opportunity. Much still needs to be done for the betterment of women with disabilities. NDWA’s goal is ‘to improve socio-economic and political status of women with disabilities’ focusing on education, health, rehabilitation and livelihood through advocacy, capacity building and right basis approaches.
