Gender equality is not just a women’s issue—it’s a societal issue that affects everyone. At the Research and Community Development Center (RCDC), we approach gender equality through the lens of intersectional feminism, recognizing that gender intersects with other identities, such as race, class, and disability, to shape the experiences of individuals.
Intersectional feminism is about understanding and addressing the unique challenges faced by individuals who exist at the intersection of multiple identities. In Nepal, where gender inequality is pervasive, this approach is essential for creating inclusive and effective solutions.
RCDC’s work in promoting Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) is rooted in this understanding. We conduct research to identify the root causes of gender inequality, engage with diverse communities, and implement programs that challenge harmful norms and promote inclusivity. Our goal is to create environments where all individuals, regardless of their gender or background, have the opportunity to thrive.
Through our intersectional approach, RCDC is not only advancing gender equality but also fostering a more just and equitable society. By addressing the needs of the most marginalized, we are paving the way for a future where everyone’s voice is heard and valued.
