BACKGROUND

An internal armed conflict has been affecting  the country in the past 10 years. Due to the conflict, Nepal has been witnessing a massive breach of human rights and humanitarian norms, values and principles in the past 10 years The human rights community has shown serious concern regarding systematic and gross patterns of human rights violations and a highly deplorable state of dehumanization, which has demanded a response from human rights defenders. Innumerable cases of serious breaches of fundamental human rights, including blatant encroachments on non-derogable rights, have been recorded. Unarmed innocent civilians, who neither support nor oppose the conflict, have been direct victims of the conflict. Thousands of families are forced to live as internal refugees within the country (internally displaced persons) Children and women are affected the most. A strong voice against the ongoing violence that the innocent people are facing is missing. Moreover, upcoming voices are also lost somewhere within the deep gorge of this conflict. There is a strong need for a programme that brings the voices of these innocent people to the concerned national and international human rights forums and other concerned governments and non-government organizations to provide necessary services and relief.
