Preserving Dignity.
Advancing Leadership.
A dedicated platform advancing the rights, health awareness and cultural preservation of Indigenous Hyolmo women and girls across Nepal.
"Serving as a bridge between tradition and progress, ensuring no Hyolmo woman is left behind."
Our Story
The Nepal Hyolmo Women Association (NHWA) was established in 2006 by visionary Hyolmo women who recognized the need for a dedicated platform to advance the rights, dignity and leadership of Indigenous women.
The Hyolmo community carries a rich cultural, spiritual, linguistic and historical identity. Yet many Hyolmo women - particularly those from rural, remote and economically vulnerable backgrounds - continue to face systemic barriers to education, health services, leadership participation and economic opportunity.
NHWA was formed to change that: to create a common platform where Hyolmo women could learn, organize, lead and advocate for their own well-being.
Over the years, we have grown into a trusted community institution, actively engaged in women's movements, Indigenous peoples' rights initiatives, health campaigns and social development efforts - serving as a strategic bridge between tradition and progress.
