CWAD organized a Capacity Development Training for Women’s Empowerment on 7 August 2026 in Dhangadhi, Kailali, bringing together women group members from Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City Wards 8 and 9 and Godawari Municipality Wards 7 and 8 .
The training focused on strengthening women’s leadership, advocacy, communication, and practical planning skills, with sessions covering advocacy strategies integrating GEDSI and Human Rights, policy advocacy, policy and stakeholder analysis, the advocacy cycle, communication and assertive communication skills and practical advocacy approaches.
Through interactive discussions, experience sharing, and practical exercises, participants explored how to identify and raise issues affecting women and marginalized communities,and advance advocacy efforts in a planned and strategic manner. Participants also developed action plans based on their ongoing businesses and livelihood activities, enabling them to translate the knowledge and skills gained through the training into practical actions.
The sessions were facilitated by Prof. Dr. Shashi Adhikary and Dr. Anita Shrestha.
The program was organized with financial support from AEIN – Aide à l’Enfance de l’Inde et du Népal and in coordination with DWRF, contributing to CWAD’s continued efforts to strengthen women’s voice, leadership, agency, and collective action, while promoting rights protection and access to justice for marginalized communities
