The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) is inviting organizations to apply for an open competition. This grant seeks to significantly expand women’s capacity to engage freely and safely in public life across Nepal. Supported projects will aim to foster environments where women can participate in civic, economic, and social activities without hindrance. The initiative implicitly addresses issues like sexual and gender-based violence, which often impede women’s full and secure involvement. DRL encourages innovative applications that promote inclusivity, uphold women’s rights, and contribute to a more equitable Nepali society. This funding opportunity is crucial for organizations dedicated to empowering women and ensuring their rightful place in public spheres.
