Pahichan (The Identity) is a non-governmental organization based in Kathmandu, Nepal. We are committed to empowering marginalized women with disabilities who might be unmarried, widows or divorced. It will be done through creating a living, learning and working environment. We will enhance women’s skills, boost-up their confidence and enable them to live independent lives with dignity. 

Our board member comprises 9 member including single women and women with disability. In Nepal, there is single women policy, guidelines, social allowance, facility and district single women committee. Since 20 years, NGO is working for the issue of single women. However, women with disability have not access on it. Within the single women, marginalized and disability women are more victim and under privilege.  There is an assortment of stigma, superstition and ignorance that are associated with disability. The beauty and relevance of all this in our life has come from the fact that being discriminated, or even worse, having the feeling of not being valued, has resulted in making a stronger, resolute woman of ourselves. From our own experienced and our friend, we have acknowledge the fact that “Nothing about us, without us”. Therefore, in the initiation of Ms. Ichhya K.C a Nepali blind woman, an active  group member of single and marginalized women with disability committee has been formulated in 2017. Since, we have started to raise the issue and rights of single and marginalized women with disability.We have conducted several workshop in the participation and collaboration of Ujyalo Foundation, Women for Human Rights (WHR),Blind Women Association, Nepal Disabled Women Association and Department of children and Women.
