XXV South Asian Feminist Capacity Building Course on Gender, Sustainable Livelihoods, Human Rights and Peace in Kathmandu, Nepal

The South Asian Feminist Capacity Building Course on Gender, Sustainable Livelihoods, Human Rights and Peace, also known as the Sangat Month Long Course, is designed to offer clarity on and a greater understanding of concepts related to gender, justice, poverty, sustainable development, peace, democracy, and human rights. The course was founded in 1984. Thus far, 24 editions have been held through which more than 780 women activists and gender trainers, women’s studies teachers, journalists, lawyers, police officers, media women, and others have improved their   conceptual capacities and sharpened/developed feminist perspectives. Many of these women are now in senior positions in various organizations and institutions,  and several are conducting similar gender workshops and women’s studies courses in their own countries. 

These courses seek to unpack and understand the lived experiences of people navigating  the world as women, and to build solidarity between them. 

The courses have been designed for women from South Asia (Afghanistan,  Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Maldives, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka). In some years  participants from Indonesia, Ghana, Sudan, Turkey, Myanmar, Vietnam, Palestine, and  Iran have also attended, leading to effective networking amongst participants

The Courses will commence on the 25th of August to the 23rd of September 2023 at the Tewa Center, Kathmandu, Nepal.
