NDWA was established in 2054 (1998) adopting the values of the fundamental rights and responsibilities provided by the constitution of Nepal in order to support Women with Disabilities (WWDs) to pursue their rights, and provide them protection and livelihood support. NDWA has an important role to advocate on the issues of WWDs, such as rights to education, health, employment, rehabilitation and social security. It seeks to create and lead a nationwide network of self-help groups of WWDs to achieve its mission.
