Advocacies (Local)

 
NU is currently involved in advocating the issues related to our focus areas and programmes at both local and national levels.
 
Locally, NU focuses on ensuring the implementation of existing laws and policies aimed at protecting women and improving their rights. Focus is also placed on helping ensure the provision of poor peoples access to basic services, the greater use of government legal aid support, the effective participation of women elected representatives at the union council, the activation of the arbitration council of local government, and the strengthening of the local government’s standing committees.
 

Advocacies (National)

 
NU is currently involved in advocating the issues related to our focus areas and programmes at both local and national levels.
 
NU is actively working in conjunction with other civil society groups to restore the 1997 National Women Development Policy. The existing 2004 National Women Development Policy largely denies women empowerment in terms of property rights, political participation and the mainstreaming of gender. Further, NU has been launching programs to formulate a national level pro-urban poor policy and likewise is currently pushing for the formulation of a right to information policy.
