On 27th May 2026, an orientation session on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) was successfully conducted by Shakti Milan Samaj with the board and staff members. The session provided valuable insights and enhanced our understanding of the importance of SRHR in promoting dignity, health, equality, and empowerment for women and girls.
As an organization working closely with women and girls living with HIV, survivors of trafficking, and victims of gender-based violence, the session was especially relevant and highly fruitful for strengthening our knowledge, sensitivity, and professional capacity. The interactive discussions and shared experiences encouraged meaningful reflection and learning among all participants.
We sincerely extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Laxmi Tamang for facilitating such an informative and inspiring session and for contributing to our continued commitment toward supporting vulnerable women and girls with compassion, rights-based approaches, and inclusive care.

SMS on June 2nd, 2026 conducted a sensitization program with our brave women on their experiences of violence and stigma especially gender-based violence and probable ways to respond to it such as policies, mechanisms and protocols.
We were pleasantly surprised with such effective participation of our beneficiaries who reported positive changes and a sense of confidence and agency to enjoy dignity and move forward in life.

Shakti Milan Samaj, on 18th May 2026 conducted a Consultation and Discussion Meeting with ART counsellors, health service providers and relevant CSOs to ensure smooth implementation of health-related services for people living with HIV/AIDS.
The consultation meeting concluded with a collective recognition that despite the continued commitment of health institutions and service providers, significant challenges remain in ensuring consistent viral load testing, follow-up, and comprehensive care for people living with HIV, particularly among key populations and clients outside Kathmandu Valley, highlighting the urgent need for strengthened coordination, sustained funding, decentralized services, and collaborative interventions among all stakeholders.
We are beyond grateful to have implemented this activity in collaboration with Cruiseaids Nepal and are thankful to Samata Bam for meaningful facilitation of the session.
