THE CONTEMPORARY CRAFT RETREAT DONATES TO:-

         SAMMUNAT, NEPAL We know that many women in Nepal are extremely vulnerable to violence and exploitation. We also know that simply rescuing them or giving them financial assistance is only a short term and ultimately short-sighted solution.  They work with the women to provide:-

  • Free or affordable legal assistance;

  • Advocacy and human rights training;

  • Specific income-generating skill training

  • Counselling for the women as required; and

  • Support as the women re-establish themselves and their families in new communities. We know that this was particularly important as the women are sometimes unwelcome in their home towns.

    WWF-AUSTRALIA....  to save our precious wildlife from extinction and protect the natural places they call home.
