Nepal is exposed to many natural hazards and human induced disasters. More than 80 percent of the total population of Nepal is at risk of multiple natural hazards, such as floods, landslides, windstorms, hailstorms, fires, earthquakes and Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs). The country is among the 20 most disaster-prone countries in the world. In part, this is because Nepal is in a seismically active zone with a high probability for massive earthquake (MOHA 2017).During the disaster, women and girls are more affected and vulnerable than men and boys. The impacts of disasters and crises are not gender-neutral, and global evidence shows that when disasters strike and humanitarian crises unfold, women and girls bear the impact.

 Over five years, WNF will be developed as issue based federation in Nepal and also work on creating on knowledge based Resource Center on women where all the information related with women will be documented and maintained. With the creation of these Resource Center women issues will be known to the world, gain knowledge about the movement of women in Nepal, people will learn about historical events, acquire issue based knowledge. This resource center will be used as historical documentation center and will increase visibility of women’s work in Nepal. Under this theme, evidence based research will be conducted as well as collected from different member organizations for dissemination in the resource center. Further one Her Story Park will be created by acquiring free land from the government where history of women’s contribution for women’s rights in Nepal will be reflected. This Park will be one of the memorial park for women who contributed their life for the rights of women in Nepal.
