Gulabi BK, a disaster survivor in Jajarkot, faced immense challenges after the 2023 earthquake. With limited means, rebuilding seemed impossible. Today, she’s part of 34% of women-led families in model houses under #JRAPNepal. #IWD2025, we stand for women’s rights.

There is no such thing as a natural disaster, but if people are exposed and vulnerable, natural hazards can lead to disaster. We may not be able to prevent all hazards, but we can reduce exposure and vulnerability.
