The NWC was established with the aim of women’s empowerment by protecting and promoting their rights and mainstreaming their agenda in the national mechanisms.
Since its establishment, it is actively promoting gender equality, women empowerment, and the elimination of violence against women.

Similarly, it adopts a collaborative approach to observe various programs relating to women’s rights as a 16-Day campaign against VAW, National Women’s Rights Day, International Women Day, etc.
