CREHPA - THIS IS GENDER NEPAL

Nepal has made considerable progress in health, education and poverty rate, but there is still a long way to achieve gender equality. Patriarchal values and social norms tends to discriminate in access to opportunities and control over resources keeping gender inequality alive. "This is Gender-Nepal" calls on the global photographic community to share their vision what gender looks like and submit photographs that explore/depicts the diverse ways in which gender norms, beliefs, attitudes and lifestyles of men, women and non-binary people in Nepal.

In Nepal, as globally, the Covid-19 pandemic has established a serious public health threat and has affected all domains of society- health, economy, and education- in deeply gender ways. In this unsettling moment of national upheaval, it is more important than ever to produce and distribute imagery that reflects the diverse realities of gender. We encourage photographers to contribute to expanding the imagery associated with the concept of gender in Nepal

All photographic and photojournalistic forms are welcome. Photographs must be taken within and of Nepal, but all photographers regardless of nationality are eligible to participate.
