Our Mission
At Maya Ko Sansar (World of Love), our mission is deeply rooted in the lived realities of Nepal’s most marginalized and often silenced communities—transgender individuals and sex workers. We exist to protect, empower, and uplift transgender women, male and female sex workers, and LGBTQIA+ persons who face daily discrimination, abuse, and societal rejection.
We work to build a safe and supportive environment where individuals are not judged by their gender identity, sexual orientation, or profession, but are respected as human beings with rights, dreams, and dignity. Through our programs and advocacy, we strive to ensure that every member of our community has access to health services, legal protection, skill-building opportunities, education, and mental health care.
Our mission is not only to provide services, but also to challenge deeply rooted societal norms, dismantle harmful stereotypes, and break the cycle of violence and injustice that has long impacted our community. We aim to light the spark of hope and confidence in those who have been silenced for too long, and ensure that no one is left behind because of who they are or how they survive.
Our Vison
We envision a Nepal where everyone—regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation, or occupation—can live with equal rights, dignity, and freedom. Our vision is bold yet simple: to build a just society where transgender people and sex workers are not marginalized, criminalized, or excluded, but are accepted, protected, and celebrated.
In the Nepal we dream of, transgender sex workers will not be treated as criminals but as citizens—worthy of the same rights and protections as anyone else. They will have access to healthcare, education, legal aid, and safe employment. They will be seen in leadership roles—in government offices, police forces, schools, and community organizations—and not just as victims or statistics.
We dream of a future where young LGBTQIA+ individuals can grow up with pride and self-worth, not fear or shame. A Nepal where society embraces diversity instead of suppressing it. A country where love, respect, and freedom are not reserved for a few, but are rights for all.
Our Goal
In order to bring our mission and vision to life, Maya Ko Sansar (World of Love) has set clear, impactful, and inclusive goals that guide all our work:
Raise Legal and Human Rights Awareness:
We aim to educate the LGBTQIA+ and sex worker communities about their legal and constitutional rights in Nepal. Through workshops, training, and outreach, we help individuals understand their legal protections and equip them to assert their rights when facing abuse or injustice.Empower Voices Against Violence and Discrimination:
We train community members to speak up against the daily violence, harassment, and discrimination they face—from both society and state institutions. We promote confidence, leadership, and self-advocacy.Offer Skill Development and Leadership Training:
We provide practical training in tailoring, computer skills, entrepreneurship, and more, to help individuals become financially independent. Leadership training also helps our members take on advocacy and public speaking roles.Support Mental Health and Substance Rehabilitation:
Many of our members face trauma, depression, or addiction due to lifelong exclusion. We provide safe, non-judgmental spaces for healing, counseling, and support-based recovery from substance abuse.Protect Elderly LGBTQIA+ Persons:
Elderly transgender people and sex workers often face homelessness, illness, and neglect. We advocate for social security, shelter, and emotional support systems for aging members of our community.Support the Education of Children of Sex Workers:
We believe every child deserves an education, regardless of their parents’ profession. We provide school supplies, sponsorship, and learning support for children of sex workers to break the cycle of poverty and exclusion.Increase LGBTQIA+ Representation in Public Sectors:
We push for the fair inclusion of LGBTQIA+ individuals in government, policing, healthcare, and education, so the community can influence the systems that have long ignored or mistreated them.Guide Blessing-Seeking (Badhai Mangne) Groups:
We support traditional transgender groups that seek blessings at ceremonies by guiding them toward respectful, safe, and economically empowering alternatives.Address Abuse During Public Events and Gatherings:
In areas like Birgunj and beyond, we advocate for the safety and dignity of transgender performers who often face violence and disrespect while participating in dance programs and events.Coordinate with All Levels of Government:
We actively engage with local, provincial, and federal governments to ensure LGBTQIA+ rights and welfare are included in official plans, budgets, and laws. Collaboration is essential for real, long-term change.
