Building Agency for Social Justice campaign aims to counter the prevailing narrative that presents the Madhesi Dalit woman as a voiceless and unrepresented individual lacking any agency by lending her the allyship necessary to amplify her voice to counter discrimination and violence and representing her stories to the Nepali society and wider world.

This program addresses the existing gap in societal empathy through dissemination of true-to-life stories of Dalit women through popular media and traditional art, appealing directly to the person rather than processes and institutions; and it will address existing absences in systemic structures by educating the people on the constitutional and legal aspects of the caste question in Nepal, and by conceptualizing new avenues for data collection on the intersection of gender based violence and caste based discrimination and untouchability experienced by Dalit women.
