Press Release on Roundtable Consultative Workshop on Recognition and Rights of Women Domestic and Agricultural Workers in Nepal

On 19th May 2025, Tarangini Foundation organized a Roundtable Consultative Workshop on the Recognition and Rights of Women Domestic and Agricultural Workers in Nepal, held at Alfahouse and moderated by Dr. Renu Adhikari, Founding Chairperson of Tarangini Foundation. The workshop brought together 41 key stakeholders, including representatives from the National Planning Commission, National Human Rights Commission, Department of Labor and Occupational Safety, Ministry of Women, Children and Senior Citizens, Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, global allies such as the ILO and UN Women, legal experts, civil society organizations, representatives of women domestic and agricultural workers, and media professionals.

The discussion highlighted significant legal gaps, gender-based discrimination, and the need for coordinated action at all levels of government and civil society. The collective commitment to both immediate and long-term strategies mark a critical step toward improving recognition, rights, and protections for informal women workers. Continued collaboration, effective implementation of laws, and a shift in social attitudes will be essential to achieving sustainable progress and ensuring that the women domestic workers and agricultural workers receive the dignity and support they deserve.
