Forum for Women, Law, and Development (FWLD) calls for proposals from production houses, firms, companies, and non-governmental media development organizations to create a documentary focusing on 25-year journey of Safe Abortion. The Constitution of Nepal guarantees fundamental rights, including the right to a safe abortion, access to essential services, the ability to exercise civil and political rights, and full societal participation. The purpose of this documentary is to increase public awareness and sensitization about safe abortion, as well as to document the actions and strategies used, the movement that is currently operating, and the difficulties and problems encountered in securing the right to a safe abortion in Nepal.
The documentary would also serve as a reference and source of inspiration for those working in this field in Nepal to advance safe abortion rights during the phase of implementation, as well as for those in other nations currently grappling with the criminalization of the practice. This documentary will support individuals seeking abortion services, as well as the providers of such services. It will also motivate civil society organizations (CSOs) to continue pushing for safe abortion rights and assist CSOs in other nations in doing the same.
Scope of Work:
The goal of the documentary is to present excellent practices by highlighting instances that have significantly impacted Nepal’s legal rights to safe abortion. The information in this documentary will address the efforts that we have been doing on areas pertaining to safe abortion for the past 25 years. The language used to create the documentary will be Nepali.
