FAITH Policy Advocacy Workshop on GESI and GBV Response

JULY 23, 2026

FAITH continues to work with local governments across Nepal to advocate for inclusive policies that leave no marginalized group behind. As part of this effort, FAITH organized policy advocacy workshops on inclusive GESI policies and GBV response, with a special focus on the rights and protection of female sex workers (FSWs). The workshops engaged 37 local governments across six districts — Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur, Jhapa, Sunsari, and Morang — creating space for dialogue on inclusive policies and stronger GBV response mechanisms. It was another step toward ensuring that local policies reflect the realities and needs of the communities they serve.
