Freedom Forum on Democracy

Freedom Forum is an organization established at a time when there was direct rule of King. The main objective in the beginning was to raise strong voice of people for the establishment of democracy in Nepal. Now, it is working for promotion, protection and institutionalization of Democracy through radio programs, trainings, workshops, interaction programs and consultative meetings.  

 

 
Freedom Forum for Protection of Human Rights

Forum has its own human rights unit which is continuously monitoring the human rights situation in Nepal and lobbying for the promotion and protection human rights through meetings, rally and press releases. Freedom of Expression and Openion is one of the fundamental human rights. Freedom Forum puts its endeavors to protect and promote right to Freedom of Expression and Openion side by side with other basic human rights.  

 
Freedom Forum for Media Freedom

Freedom forum is watchdog organization of media freedom in Nepal. It always works for freedom of expression and media freedom. Freedom Forum is being engaged on the media monitoring via newsletters, websites, journals, group email updates and advocacy through meetings, rally, write-ups, thematic   interactions which serve as crucial measures to raise a voice for press freedom and freedom of expression. Forum conducts workshops, seminars and discussions at national and local level to lobby for guaranteeing press freedom and freedom of expression.

 
Freedom Forum for Right to Information

Right to Information is the backbone of democracy. If people do not have right to know and are not empowered to question their government for accountability, democracy will not have real meaning in true sense. Freedom Forum has conducted several programs on right to information and the same are continuously going on. We are continuously lobbying to enhance RTI culture in Nepal and will be continued in future as well. We support information seekers to make them able to enjoy their rights to know and  give pressure to the organizations for disclosure of information of public interest.
