A New Chapter of Leadership at WATCH

A New Chapter of Leadership at WATCH

On 24th Jan  2025, Women Acting Together For Change (WATCH) is thrilled to announce an important leadership transition, reflecting our unwavering commitment to fostering equality, empowering women, and advancing feminist values.

We proudly welcome Parbata Shrestha as our new Executive Director. With extensive experience and a deep passion for gender equality, Parbata brings a vision of strengthening WATCH as a women-led organization dedicated to amplifying the voices of women and marginalized communities. Her leadership will focus on advancing feminist policies, empowering grassroots women leaders, and expanding WATCH’s impact across Nepal.

At the same time, we express our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Narayan Kaji Shrestha for his exceptional contributions as Executive Director. Under his stewardship, WATCH achieved several milestones, including:

  • Expanding community-based initiatives to empower women and girls.
  • Strengthening partnerships with local, national, and international organizations.
  • Establishing programs addressing gender-based violence, climate resilience, and women’s leadership in decision-making spaces.

We are delighted that Dr. Shrestha will continue to guide WATCH as our Advisor, providing his invaluable expertise and mentorship.

This leadership transition marks a pivotal moment in WATCH’s journey toward becoming a fully women-led and feminist organization. We look forward to this next chapter, building on our successes and working toward a more just and equitable future.
