Our Story

Inclusion. Dignity. Equality.

Rainbow Disability Nepal (RDN) was first started as a loose network for Queer Persons with Disabilities / Queer Disability (QD) community in 2019. Later, on 11th November 2022, it was registered as Indreni Apangata Nepal (Rainbow Disability Nepal), the first non-Governmental organization working for the Queer Persons with Disabilities / Queer Disability (QD) population in Nepal. RDN works to ensure the basic human rights for the Queer Persons with Disabilities / Queer Disability (QD) across the country, and has plan to work internationally in future too. It’s a first organization that works for people who identify themselves as Disable and LGBTQIA++. On these interactional issues we work with Disability, LGBTQIA++, Queer Persons with Disability / QD and Disabled Person Living with HIV.
