Centre for Awareness Promotion

History

Centre for Awareness Promotion (CAP) Nepal is a non-profit organization established in 2003. CAP is based in Kathmandu. The primary aim of CAP is to emancipate women and girls, end gender-based violence and discrimination, to rescue and prohibit the trafficking of women and children and to reform cultural malpractices. CAP Nepal also works to abolish the commercial sexual and labor exploitation of women and children. CAP Nepal’s goal is to equip each and every woman and girl that enters their program to become economically self-reliant. It seeks to work toward the abolition of gender-based inequalities. Its goal is to provide equal rights and privileges to the deprived women of Nepal by taking several reformatory measures such as providing free education, vocational training, enrichment and empowerment workshops, meditation and self-reliant courses, shelter and alternative job placement. To that end, CAP Nepal provides services that lend to the rehabilitation and reintegration of minors into society by starting the healing process with free psychological counseling, legal counseling and free education and so on.
