Welcome to JuRI-Nepal (Justice and Rights Institute Nepal)

JuRI-Nepal (Justice and Rights Institute Nepal) is a prominent non- governmental, non-profit, and apolitical organization established in 2011 that works to promote and protect human rights, social justice, and the rule of law in Nepal. The organization envisions building a just, inclusive, and democratic society where every individual can fully enjoy their fundamental rights, including economic, social, and cultural rights. JuRI-Nepal is widely recognized for its multi-dimensional approach, which includes advocacy, research, monitoring, and capacity-building programs aimed at strengthening legal awareness and institutional accountability. One of its key strategies is strategic litigation, through which it actively engages in legal actions to address human rights violations and influence policy reforms. The organization collaborates with government bodies, civil society, and international partners to support marginalized and vulnerable populations, including women, Dalits, and disadvantaged communities. It also works on critical issues such as gender equality, governance, and protection against discrimination and violence, often partnering with organizations like UN agencies to implement nationwide programs. Headquartered in Lalitpur, JuRI-Nepal brings together experienced human rights professionals and continues to play an important role in advancing justice, equality, and inclusive development across Nepal.
