In the aftermath of the devastating floods in Nepal, affected populations across diversities are in need of shelter, food, water, sanitation, health, nutrition, and livelihoods restoration. In addition, they may be at further exposed to
discrimination, violence and other risks to their safety, protection, dignity, empowerment, resilience and recovery.
Supporting those most in need does not always mean providing support to those most easy to reach, easy to identify, or accessible. In any society, some people are more vulnerable and marginalised than others. The flood affected districts are home to some of the most marginalized population groups including over 50% female populations, who already face multiple forms of prevailing discrimination, exclusion and inequalities based on gender, age, caste, ethnicity, marital status, mental and physical abilities, sexual orientation and gender identity.
