About Us

Women Empowerment

Creative Institute Nepal (CIN) is a local non-profit feminist organization in the Rupandehi District running with the vision of 'a society with social justice, gender equality and prosperity of marginalized communities.'

CIN is dedicated to eradicating violence against women, girls, and LBTIQA+ individuals, with a mission to foster empowerment and societal education that challenges harmful traditions hindering equality and acceptance. Through feminist-oriented advocacy, training, and campaigns, our aim is transformative change, and we collaborate with governments to ensure the effective implementation of gender equality and social inclusion policies. 

Our goals involve sensitizing stakeholders through policy advocacy, fighting gender injustice and social exclusion, and advocating for equal rights for women, children, and sexually minority individuals. We work towards creating safe environments, promoting climate change adaptation, and addressing vulnerabilities faced by young girls, women, the LBTIQA+ community, and children before, during, and after disasters. We provide safe shelter, psychosocial counseling, and empowerment clinics while promoting gender equality and social inclusion through research and capacity-building efforts.

Our objectives center around establishing social justice, security, and dignity for women, girls, LGBITQ, and children. We aim to empower marginalized communities and eradicate gender-based violence, discrimination, and human trafficking while providing support to vulnerable children. Moreover, we act as a bridge between the justice system and those in search of justice, work towards ending child marriage, and educate adolescents on sexual and reproductive health. Our commitment extends to conducting research and advocacy to contribute to gender equality, child protection, holistic empowerment of women and girls, and the transformation of harmful social norms and values that hinder progress on various social issues. Through these comprehensive initiatives, CIN is dedicated to building a more equitable and just society for all.
