1.6. Brief Introduction of the Organization: -
Janaki Women Awareness Society is a non-profit making non-governmental organization. It was established in 1993 in Dhanusha district of Nepal. The organization was formed and is operated by a group of women social workers. The formation of a democratic government provided space to the women social workers who were very much disturbed and concerned about the social evils of child marriage, dowry system, domestic violence and discrimination against women and lower castes. They decided to work in a n organized way to uplift their economic, health social and political conditions.

Vision:
We cherish to change our Society through sustainable community development based on social, economic, political and gender equality.

Mission:
Our mission is to organize the targeted groups- Women, children Youths and marginalized communities against Caste/ Gender in-equality, other social evils and help them to improve their health. We hope to make them self reliant so that they have a proper participation in the decision-making bodies of the society and are able to enjoy their rights.
Organizational Objectives:
•    We intend to bring social change by empowering men and women for their equal development.
•    To start a campaign against various kinds of traditional obscurantism like, dowry system, veil system, child marriage,     child labor, belief in "dayan" (witches) etc.
•    To provide relief to the victims of natural disaster.
•    We will increase awareness and protect the natural resources and environment of the rural/urban areas..
•    We will make aware and provide services to the men, women and children of rural areas in their reproductive health,      family planning, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV-AIDS     etc. The health services will be complimentary and supplementary to the existing governmental and private health facilities.
•    Organize dalits, men and women against untouchability and gender discriminations/violence. Develop leadership so that they have a share in the local resources and participation in the decision making process in the local governance.
•    Raise consciousness of the community about their sanitation and hygiene; provide hand pipes for safe drinking water and Pit latrines for sanitation.
•    We will try to manage the existing conflict in the rural areas and establish peace.
•    To organize the small and marginal farmers for their economic and social development.
•    We will work to eliminate bonded/ semi bonded labor and child labor.
•    We seek opportunities to work in partnership with other agencies and group in the pursuit of these aims and objectives. Experience demonstrates that by working together it is possible to realize even the most ambitious goals and objectives.
