Help Society Nepal (HS-Nepal), partner NGO of Language Development Centre Nepal was organised one day trainings on Food and Socio-Cultural Rights of Tharu communities in November 2016. We are giving focus to aware minority communities especially women through trainings, workshops, language, education and community based- development activities.
Tharu communities especially women are not able to involve in main stream development because they are not literate about their rights and facing many problems to maintain daily life because of socio-cultural-political discriminations. These discriminations link to conflict, human rights violations, underrepresentation and increase in poverty levels, lack of equal access to and quality education.
We are trying to change these situations and organized the Training on Food and Socio-Cultural Rights of Tharu Communities to twenty-two (Male: 5 Female: 17) community members in Dang. They were trained about food and socio-cultural rights and its relation to constitutional rights. This training was helped them to know constitutional provision about different rights and their roles and responsibilities.
We believe that all participants are able to convey their learning and information in their community which will be changed the people's mind mind for their creative and positive involvement in the development. One female participant said, "We are poor and backward because we never get right information in right time, but this training helped us to know about constitutional provision about our rights." They added, this kind of training needs to be organised in community level to create awareness in the whole community people and their active participation.
Key Issues: We would like to response community's expectation if we are able to generate more financial resources. We are trying to do best using our existing capacities and hopeful, we will have more financial resources to continue and expand our activities.
We are grateful for your support. Thank you.
