आधार:AN OPPORTUNITY CENTER FOR WOMEN

Abstract

This report presents a thesis on the topic of "Aadhar: An Opportunity Center for Women", which aims to uplift Indigenous women in Nepal. The Chepang community has been selected as the focus of the study and survey. The project named "Aadhar" aims to provide a platform for women who require empowerment and are severely underrepresented. It seeks to create opportunities for them and help uplift their status, enabling them to understand their own identity. Nepal is a nation that exhibits promise for advancement, although it does not exist without social disparities. While a certain segment enjoys ample prospects, there are those who are situated beneath the poverty threshold. Likewise, while a particular group of individuals possesses the means to access fundamental human rights, nation’s priorities, justice, and amenities, there are others who are dispersed and in search of a livelihood. It is a pronounced gender stereotype and societal concern that continues to pervade numerous communities, despite remaining unacknowledged and underreported. Thus, Gender being one of the factors representing the social disparities in our society, with a highly marginalized ethnic group ‘Chepang’ being another factor reflecting the need of upliftment and opportunities, holds together the overall objectives of the thesis project.
