Political Literacy for Women (PLFW)

16 May 2024

Political Literacy for Women (PLfW) is a movement that aims to increase Nepali women's knowledge about Politics and is designed to provide learning, networking, and leading spaces for Nepali women. Looking at the present scenario, literacy in the political domain is unsatisfactory in many contexts, but across gender lines, political literacy is particularly still inequitable. We believe this movement will bring political consciousness amongst women which ensures political participation leading to the shift in prevailing political culture.

VG Foundation's collaboration with PLFW Nepal sponsored and supported more than sixty participants in their Political Literacy for Young Women(PLYW) Cohorts of 2021. The aim was to strengthen the core mechanism of equality and build resilience against discrimination based on gender in political representation.
