The Women’s Empowerment Desk (WED), under the Department of Finance of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), was established in 2008 with the mandate to implement the CTA’s Women’s Empowerment Policy (WEP). Since its inception, WED has remained committed to advancing gender equality and promoting the rights and well-being of women within the Tibetan community.
Through policy advocacy, program implementation, and active community engagement, WED works towards fostering a more gender-just and inclusive Tibetan society. It collaborates with a wide range of stakeholders to raise awareness, strengthen capacities, and support initiatives that empower women and address gender-based challenges at both institutional and community levels.
