The Indigenous Rights Foundation uses ITV Nepal (a satellite television channel in partnership with Indigenous Television) to advocate for Indigenous rights and promote their languages. ITV Nepal produces programs in 20 Indigenous languages, increasing their voices and their access to the media. This has strengthened the use of Indigenous languages and promoted freedom of expression in Nepal.
The project, "Empowering Indigenous Voices for Climate Action in Nepal," aims to empower Indigenous communities in Nepal to effectively participate in climate change discussions. The project aims to bridge the gap between Indigenous communities, government officials, and the public by documenting their Traditional Ecological Knowledge and advocating for their rights. The project seeks to raise awareness of the challenges faced by Indigenous communities due to climate change and hydropower development through media dialogues, public service announcements, and the production of documentaries while promoting sustainable development that respects their rights and knowledge. Ultimately, the project aims to contribute to a more resilient and sustainable future for Nepal.
