Women Act Vacancy for Vacancy Announcement for Various Positions

 

WOMEN ACT is a national-level, non-profit, women-led organization established in 2007 as a network of women-led NGOs committed to addressing gender inequality and advancing the rights, empowerment, and protection of women and girls in Nepal. Women Act works to promote women’s social, economic, educational, and political development while advocating for the elimination of all forms of violence against women and girls, including gender-based violence (GBV), sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), trafficking, and harmful social norms and practices.

Currently, with the support of Plan International, WOMEN ACT is implementing the “Breaking the Silence” project in the Kapilvastu District. This localized intervention focused on reducing gender-based violence (GBV) by empowering adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) through leadership development and shifting community norms. By integrating individual agency with systemic reform, the project strengthens survivor-centered protection systems and establishes functional referral pathways across health, legal, and psychosocial services. To ensure permanent change, it works to institutionalize municipal ownership through dedicated budgeting and accountability mechanisms.
