Disability Human Rights Promotion Society - (DHRPS)

Established on 24 March 2014, the Disability Human Rights Promotion Society (DHRPS) is a non-governmental, non-profit, and non-political organization registered with the District Administration Office and affiliated with the Social Welfare Council, Nepal. It is a Disabled Persons’ Organisation (DPO), run by and for people with disabilities to ensure self representation and rights based leadership. It is dedicated to promoting the rights, dignity, and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Human rights are at the core of DHRPS’s work. The organization advances equal access and the realization of rights as outlined in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and other national and international human rights instruments. DHRPS works to ensure that persons with disabilities are not only service recipients but active rights holders and leaders in decision making processes. DHRPS collaborates with federal, provincial, and local governments, civil society organizations, parents, youth groups, and development partners to promote inclusive education, deinstitutionalization, alternative care, policy advocacy, and community based services. The organization firmly believes that no child should be separated from their family due to disability, poverty, or lack of services. It continues to advocate for a society where children with disabilities grow up safely within their families and communities, with dignity, protection, and equal opportunities.
