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.

Welcome to Her Space, a safe haven created by LOOM for young women and queer activists to share stories, experiences, and the rich history of the Nepali women’s movement. Since 2010, this space has empowered individuals to feel secure from the challenges and threats that come with raising their voices for justice and equality.
Her Space is more than just a physical place. It’s a vibrant safe space and a platform for feminists to come share their experience of their feminist journey through our programs like Guff Gaff and Multigenerational Dialogues. It’s where campaigners and changemakers come together to work, collaborate, and contribute to the movement for women’s rights and gender equality.
In Her Space, you’ll find an incredible collection of books and resources on women’s rights movements from around the globe, stories of resilience from Nepali women, research reports on the queer community and transgender men, and so much more! This is a space to write your own story, reflect on the journeys of others, and build connections with like-minded souls.
Her Space is where ideas take flight! It’s designed to be a meeting ground for young women and the queer community to discuss, debate, and create solutions to the challenges they face. Whether you’re organizing an event, brainstorming new ideas, or simply sharing your thoughts, this space is all about amplifying your voice.
In a world that still tries to silence the voices of women and marginalized communities, Her Space stands as a symbol of freedom. It’s a place where you can speak your truth, find empowerment, and connect with others who are breaking down societal barriers. Let Her Space be your sanctuary of self-expression, where the chains of societal expectations are shattered, and your voice roars.
As one of LOOM’s core initiatives, Her Space is also a hub for learning and growth. We proudly offer a mini-library filled with inspiring books on sexuality education, feminist movements, and intersectional experiences. Dive in, explore, and let your mind expand!
Because your voice matters. Her Space was created to give young women and the queer community a platform where they can speak without fear, find solidarity, and be part of a collective effort to make lasting change. This is ‘her’ space, where your stories become part of a larger movement for justice, equality, and freedom.
