Women, youth, internal migrants and retired people, among others, face distinct challenges in participating in the social, political and economic sectors of society. Although these groups are not homogenous and their circumstances vary according to age, caste, education, ethnicity, location and other cultural and socio-economic characteristics, it is widely acknowledged that they bear a disproportionate burden of discrimination and poverty in Nepal. These groups and their organisations do not have or can not afford a physical communal space where they can get together, create and develop their activities.

For these reasons, DidiBahini wants to build a green building to offer them the opportunity to get together and engage in social, political and productive activities, generate income, transfer knowledge and wisdom and thereby reduce discrimination and poverty.

DidiBahini will continue to support them develop strategies by networking, advocacy, mobilisation, gender mainstreaming and capacity-building with a focus on women and youth. This will equip them with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to seize social, political and economic opportunities, gain control of their lives and exert influence in society.
