This project seeks to address the injustice and grievances experienced by conflict-affected women due to
the impact of conflict. These injustices and grievances are not only limited to the political space but in the
social and economic spaces as well. For this, we build the leadership of conflict-affected women and the
network. Not only make them leaders in their advocacy but also make them peace leaders with strong
knowledge in conflict transformation, peace building, and as well as in Transitional Justice issue.
The objectives of this project are to strengthen the movement building and advocacy of Conflict Victim
Women National Network (CVWN) in Nepal by promoting transformative peace leadership and mental
health, to increase the capacity of the communities and its local infrastructures (schools, ward offices,
municipalities, health posts, local organizations) to sustain peace through peace initiatives like peace
circles, peace education, medical support and livelihood sustainability as well as understanding the
transitional justice and reparation issues with their accountability and to document, memorialize and share
stories of women’s role in armed conflict through oral-histories, evidence collection, and visual
documentaries. Stories of not only their multilayered traumas and struggles but also their strengths and
initiatives during the conflict period.
This project’s goal is to help address the long-term injustice and grievances of women affected by
prevailing structural violence through gender lens. The program runs in 7 provinces aligns in 10 different
districts in Nepal. They are: Udayapur, Dhanusha, Ramechhap, Baglung, Myagdi, Bake, Rolpa, Dailekh,
