Saathi is a non-governmental organization established in 1992 to address the different forms of violence and discrimination faced by Nepali women and girls. It was the first organization that was instrumental in drawing significant national attention towards domestic violence in Nepal as an area requiring urgent attention and intervention to break the silence that impacts the lives of many marginalized women and girls. It has persistently continued its crusade for creating a safe and violence-free society where women and children can live with respect and dignity.

Women's Rehabilitation Centre (WOREC) is a non-governmental organization working for the protection and promotion of human rights. Established in 1991, WOREC is one of the leading national organizations that works to prevent violence against women, its causes and consequences, and to ensure economic, social and cultural well-being of women as well as other marginalized groups by promoting their access to rights and social justice.
WOREC started her work with an objective to prevent trafficking of women and children and advocate for the rights of survivors. In course of work, with the realization that trafficking is one among various other outcomes of women rights violations, WOREC started to work from broader perspective for women's right without losing the focus against trafficking. WOREC is the first organization in the country to introduce concept on safe migration as a tool for prevention of trafficking, and now with learning and experiences from the ground has been broadened within organization's work frame including labor rights and right to mobility as key to prevent trafficking and slavery-like practices.
Chhori is a non-profit organization. The organization is led by women only and is functioning on a national level. Chhori means “daughter” in Nepali, a name chosen because the mission of Chhori is to improve the conditions in Nepal so nobody gets discriminated just because of their gender.
Some of the fields Chhori works in are:
Prevention from trafficking, unsafe migration, sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, menstrual discrimination, protection and empowerment for the victim and survivors, advocacy, coordination and networking.
Chhori comprises of 35 women members and its executive board is governed by women. Since the organization is focused on girls and women we find it appropriate that the organisation is also led by women.
Chhori has active projects in four districts of Nepal: Nuwakot, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur and Kathmandu. Alongside, we run different capacity building programs and awareness campaigns covering the entire nation.
Nari Chetna Kendra Nepal, also known as Women’s Awareness Centre Nepal (WACN), was established in 1991 by a group of women interested in improving the socio-economic status and self-development capacity of disadvantaged people, particularly women and children.
