? Activity Status: Unknown

Key Information

This program supports young Musahar girls who would otherwise be left behind. The Musahars are one of the most politically marginalised, economically exploited and socially outcast groups in Nepal. These women are affected by gender-based violence and discrimination, and because of this they are almost entirely excluded from education and employment.
