Channel Grant: Channel made a grant to Global Rights in order to support the Minority Women's Rights Project in Nepal, a project bringing women leaders from minority and other marginalized communities into the political process to contribute to the creation of new laws and a new constitution for the country.   The project provides marginalized Dalit, indigenous and Madhesi women with opportunities to identify priority issues and develop constitutional language to advance their own objectives for creating political space and more meaningful social inclusion. Through participatory processes, women are trained to document rights violations occurring in their communities and utilize this documentation to draft constitution language, as well as develop and implement advocacy campaigns for additional rights protections in law and in the new Nepalese constitution.
