Gender Networking in Nepal

The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD)
[website:http://www.icimod.org.sg or  http://www.icimod.org.np] made a
small grant, on 30 June 2000, to the Women's Rights Advocacy Programme
(WRAP), an umbrella project being implemented by three organizations -
Sancharika Samuha (a forum for Nepali Women in Media), SAATHI (an NGO
working on Violence Against Women), and the Centre for Legal Research
and Services (CLRS) - to begin testing an Internet-based information
service and network in Nepal on women's and gender issues. The pilot
exercise will involve

1. an experiment to create an Internet-based network and building
capacities for gender networking in Nepal and
2. a feasibility study for the long-term sustainability and development
of the pilot network and website.

The network, called Mahila Web, has already set up their homepage on the

NepalNet website and are develloping it as an electronic repository
focussed on women and gender issues in Nepal. Mahila means woman in
Nepali. Participating organizations include both NGOs and INGOs based in

Nepal. Currently, existing partners as well as potential partners are
being trained in web-browsing, e-mail use and web page design.  You can
find the Mahilaweb hompage at
