Sumeera Shrestha tells us about the Displacement Narration tool she’s using to explore the experiences of communities in Nepal.

The region has suffered natural disasters in recent years, including an earthquake and two major floods prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. These events have interrupted the social fabric of women’s lives and in many cases cut them off from vital resources.

She explains an innovative approach to gathering local voices which develops a trusted link between communities and policymakers.

Sumeera is the Executive Director of the NGO Women for Human Rights. She works with women affected by conflict and she’s also the founder of GyanBodh Research and Development Services which provides support to women’s rights organisations.
