Summary:

Nyauchi Bhul, aged-60 is residing in MaghiShivir of ward no. 3 of Chaumala VDC, Kailali District. She is disadvantaged widow woman who is physically weak and couldn’t hear properly. She was married in early age and she gave birth to a son. Her husband was old and died after her son was born. She had been living with her son. When her son was fully grown up he didn’t take care of her mother and she had been living miserable life alone. She had no idea of getting death registration of her husband and she would get old age and single woman allowance. During HR education campaign, Man Bahadur Nepali (HRAA Coordinator) got to know about her problem.  Later on, with facilitation and support of Manisha Buda (Animator) Nyauchi filled form for getting her social security allowance and got her husband’s death certificate after 15 years of his demise.

Challenges:

The targeted communities are deprived of getting social security allowance which is meant to provide them. NyauchiBhul is old aged woman belonging to Dalit community. She was a widowed woman who was living separately as her son excluded her from his house. She had poor economical condition and had no source of income. She had no idea about social security allowance that she would get, as she didn’t have death certificate of her husband.

Initiative:

Mr. Man Bahadur Nepali (HRAA)Coordinator) got to know about situation of Nyauchi. Ms. Manisha Buda (Animator) of Chaumala VDC helped her in getting death certificate of her husband. She also filled form for claiming her old age as well as single woman allowance. Ultimately, she got death certificate of her husband from 15years from her husband’s demise.

Results:

HRAA members are cautious about situation in their community. They raise every issue that is violating human rights of people. NyauchiBhul was deprived woman from Dalit community who had no access to information about her allowances that she deserves. Manisha Budha (Animator) helped her in justice process. Today, Nyauchi had certain money to sustain her life and she doesn’t have to wait for other people to fulfill her basic need.
