Mission
Adhikaar, meaning "rights" in Nepali, is a New York-based women-led non-profit organization seeking to promote human rights and social justice in Nepali communities by: 
* facilitating access to information and resources on immigration, health, and women's rights for immigrants, refugees, asylees, Nepali-Americans and others within the Nepali community; 
* mobilizing members of the Nepali community to collectively advocate against social injustices and human rights abuses that affect our community; 
* conducting policy research and advocacy, and providing capacity building assistance to Nepali human rights and social justice NGOs.

Serving South Asians
Programs and services are designed for South Asian community members only.

Additional Information
We also conduct community-based participatory research to document the needs of the Nepalis.
