The Freed Kamaiya Women Development Forum (FKWDF), established in 2008 by women’s groups of former bonded laborers, is dedicated to advocating for the abolition of the Kamaiya and Kamlaries systems and ensuring just rehabilitation for those affected. Our mission is to enhance the social, economic, and cultural rights of ex-bonded laborers while creating livelihood opportunities in collaboration with national and international organizations and various government levels.

Currently, we are implementing the SAHAKARAYA Project and the Women’s Entrepreneurship Development in Non-Traditional Sectors project in partnership with FCA-Nepal/Women Bank. As part of these initiatives, we plan to conduct the following training sessions for project staff and beneficiaries:

1. Start and Improve Your Business Training
2. Leadership Training

4. ToT on Gender Sensitization Related to Non-Traditional Entrepreneurship
