When we first started working on the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for women and adolescent girls, it was included as one of the trainings or workshops built into the livelihood training we provided through our program Awasar.
Today, we call our initiative on SRHR, Dulaari.
“Dulaari,” a term often used to refer to women and girls as “beloved” or “dear one,” is dedicated to every woman who dares to rise and challenge the status quo.
"Dulaari" is a community-driven initiative focused on advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) for women and adolescent girls. Grounded in the idea that awareness and agency drive better health outcomes, Dulaari supports women and adolescent girls in strengthening their negotiation and decision-making skills around their bodies, health, and futures.
Guided by the comprehensive Dulaari Manual, the program is tailored to the cultural and social realities of communities across Madhesh and Bagmati provinces. Dulaari operates through two core pillars: Education and Access.
a. Education: Providing accurate, age-appropriate, and context-sensitive information on SRHR.
b. Access: Distribution of Menstrual Hygiene Kit and facilitating links to essential SRHR services and safe spaces where women and girls can seek support without fear or stigma.
The Dulaari Manual serves as a hands-on tool for trainers, facilitators, and community leaders. It simplifies complex concepts, encourages open dialogue, and fosters critical thinking, making SRHR education both accessible and actionable.
Through Dulaari, we envision communities where women and girls are equipped not only with knowledge but also with the confidence and agency to claim their rights and make informed decisions about their health and lives.
We launched our initiative through the GlobalGiving platform to raise funds for the project. We continue to do so and are very grateful to everyone who has set intention to support us. Thank you.
