Feminist Dalit Organization (FEDO) Established in 1994, Feminist Dalit Organization (FEDO) has emerged as a beacon of optimism, spearheading a movement dedicated to the empowerment of Dalit Rights on a national scale. Our foundation is built upon the principles of equality and justice, as we tirelessly endeavor to break down the barriers of caste and gender discrimination. With an unwavering dedication, we champion fairness and inclusivity, ensuring that the voices of Dalit women and the broader Dalit community resonate across platforms of power and influence.
Driven by a vision of a more just society, FEDO is committed to integrating Dalit women and the entire Dalit community into the fabric of social, economic, and political development in Nepal. Through our multifaceted advocacy, we aim to challenge entrenched societal norms, paving a path towards a future where every individual, irrespective of caste or gender, can thrive and contribute meaningfully to our nation’s collective progress.
Responding to this pandemic, FEDO has stepped up and provided much-needed humanitarian support to the vulnerable populations: Dalit and marginalized ones of Nepal. It has been rigorously working on spreading awareness among the vulnerable groups and organizing psychosocial counseling for the needy ones along with coordinating with the Nepal government to identify and address the most urgent needs of Dalits in this pandemic.
