Some things aren't expenses.

They're investments in a better future. ๐Ÿ’ธ

The greatest returns come when women and girls have the rights, opportunities and support they deserve.

That's a future .

As H.E. Vรฉronique Lorenzo, European Union Ambassador to Nepal, prepares to conclude her tenure, UN Women Nepal extends its deep appreciation for her steadfast support and advocacy for womenโ€™s rights and empowerment, and for championing gender equality throughout her engagement in Nepal. ๐Ÿ’œ

In this episode of On Air with Sanjay, Ambassador Lorenzo joins Patricia Fernandez-Pacheco, UN Women Representative in Nepal, to reflect on their experiences in Nepal, the evolving Nepalโ€“Europe partnership, and their hopes for Nepalโ€™s future. They also discuss why investing in womenโ€™s economic opportunities, entrepreneurship and leadership is critical to building a more equal and prosperous Nepal.

The conversation highlights the strong EUโ€“UN partnership through and our shared commitment to creating an enabling environment where women can participate, lead and succeed.

As Ambassador Lorenzo bids farewell to Nepal, we thank her for being a strong ally for gender equality and a consistent advocate for the rights and empowerment of all women and girls in Nepal. We wish her every success in the journey ahead. ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ

Their work is vital for women and girls affected by crises, helping them access essential services, protection and support when they need it most. When humanitarian workers are attacked or humanitarian access is restricted, women and girls can face even greater risks.

Across Asia and the Pacific, UN Women works with partners to ensure humanitarian action protects the rights and dignity of women and girls, responds to their needs and strengthens their leadership in crisis response and recovery. We must protect those who deliver humanitarian assistance and ensure they can safely reach women, girls and all people affected by crises.

Behind humanitarian response are local organizations that know their communities. Many are led by women.

But funding cuts are putting their work at risk. More than 9 in 10 womenโ€™s organizations surveyed by UN Women say they cannot meet current levels of need.

Tomorrow, as we commemorate #๐–๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐๐‡๐ฎ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง๐ƒ๐š๐ฒ, let's recognize women as humanitarian actors and leaders and call for greater support for their organizations and a stronger voice in humanitarian decisions.

Everyone deserves equal opportunity.

Systemic barriers and long-standing stereotypes shouldn't stand in the way of anyone's dreams.

Across the country, women are working the land, managing water, and safeguarding biodiversity, often carrying this responsibility on their own as men migrate for work abroad.

Our new publication, "๐–๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง ๐Ÿ๐š๐ซ๐ฆ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐œ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ž๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐ž๐ญ," brings together 12 portraits from around the world of women who are food producers, environmental stewards, and custodians of ancestral knowledge, leading cooperatives, managing water resources, and building climate-resilient communities.

Their stories reflect what we see every day in Nepal's fields and communities: when women lead in agriculture, they don't just sustain harvests, they sustain the land, water, and future of entire communities.

When disaster strikes, who gets left out first?

For Anjali B.C. of Karnali Indreni Awaj, an LGBTQIA+ organization, that question isn't hypothetical, it's the gap she's spent years naming: emergency shelters, toilets, and relief lines that still follow a binary approach, leaving LGBTQIA+ people unsafe or excluded exactly when they need protection most.

This is why UN Women Nepal has supported the formation and strengthening of provincial CSO platforms, spaces where women-led organizations, women's rights organizations, organizations of persons with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ organizations sit at the same table as government and humanitarian actors.

Because an inclusive platform builds an inclusive response.

UN Women Nepal is working to operationalize Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) in disaster preparedness and humanitarian action, so that no community, and no identity, is left behind when disaster strikes.

During our recent monitoring mission to Madhesh Province, ๐ฐ๐ž ๐ฆ๐ž๐ญ ๐’๐š๐ง๐ฃ๐ฎ, a leader whose confidence and conviction are reshaping her community from the inside out. Beyond stopping child marriages, she has worked to challenge dowry and other discriminatory norms and coordinated with local government to allocate budget for gender equality and women's empowerment.

Her leadership is a reminder that ending gender-discriminatory norms and practices isn't just about policy, it's about women like Sanju, backed by the right support, choosing to act.

Through the Storytelling Initiative, together with the Government of Finland, UN Women Nepal continues to invest in women's leadership and economic empowerment at the grassroots, ๐›๐ž๐œ๐š๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง ๐ ๐š๐ข๐ง ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐Ÿ๐ข๐๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ž๐ฉ๐ž๐ง๐๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž, ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ซ๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž.
