Welcome to the Centre for Women's Awareness and Development (CWAD), a leading organization in Nepal dedicated to protecting and promoting the human rights of women and children. Founded in 1997, CWAD believes that addressing the violation of women's rights in formal and informal institutions is crucial to breaking the cycle of violence against them. With a human rights-based integrated approach and feminist perspective, CWAD engages in grassroots to national level policy advocacy, networking, capacity-building, and agency development for women.

CWAD works closely with duty bearers at all levels to create support mechanisms and improve access to justice, peace, good governance, and policy provisions for women, girls, children, and marginalized communities. Their vision is to create a just society where all individuals, regardless of gender or marginalized status, can enjoy their rights and live a dignified life.

Through various interventions, CWAD aims to strengthen social and economic empowerment, improve survivors' access to justice, enhance rule of law and good governance practices, and promote climate adaptive sustainable development. With a strong organizational structure and an experienced advisory board, CWAD is actively working towards achieving its mission and goals.
