Feminist Movement Builders’ Dictionary

Nepal’s First Feminist Movement Builders’ Dictionary in Nepali

Loom has launched the Nepali Feminist Dictionary, a Nepali translation of the Feminist Movement Builder Dictionary. The original dictionary was developed in English by JASS (Just Associates). This initiative helps make feminist knowledge easier to understand and access in Nepal.

Language plays an important role in shaping ideas and social movements. However, many feminist concepts are often available only in English. Because of this, many communities may find it difficult to access feminist knowledge. Therefore, translating these ideas into Nepali helps more people learn, discuss, and engage with feminist thinking.

The Nepali Feminist Dictionary includes important feminist words, meanings, and expressions. These terms are connected to Nepal’s social and cultural realities. In addition, the dictionary helps readers understand how feminist ideas relate to everyday experiences and struggles for equality.

This resource is useful for activists, students, educators, and organizations. It can also support discussions in communities, classrooms, and training programs. Furthermore, it helps people explore feminist ideas in a language that feels familiar and accessible.

The original Feminist Movement Builder Dictionary was created to strengthen feminist movements around the world. Through this Nepali translation, Loom hopes to expand access to feminist knowledge in Nepal. As a result, more people can participate in conversations about justice, equality, and social change.

Loom is proud to contribute to the growth of feminist knowledge in Nepal. The organization believes that language should not be a barrier to learning or participation. Therefore, translating important feminist resources is an important step toward inclusive movement building.

Loom also thanks everyone who supported the translation and publication of this dictionary. Their collaboration made this initiative possible. Together, such efforts can help build stronger feminist movements and expand access to knowledge for diverse communities across Nepal.
