Message from the President
Common Platform for Common Goal (CoCoN) has been creating platforms bringing common issues relating to human rights together to draw the attention of the concerned authorities for remedial action. CoCoN has been extending its scope of movement with national and international agencies consolidating resources and capacities to address the country’s vulnerability to the human rights situation. Since its inception, CoCoN has been taking initiations for collective efforts with a shared understanding of national and international established values, norms, and principles of human rights to avoid dilemmas and confusion in interpreting human rights among the human rights defenders through capacity enhancement initiatives for effective advocacy. CoCoN began its movement from eastern Nepal by focusing on combating violence against women, human trafficking, strengthening rule of law, capacity building of human rights defenders, and strengthening networks among like-minded organizations. At present, it has extended its movement towards western Nepal focusing on anti-child trafficking through rescue, empowerment, and re-integration of vulnerable trafficked children. CoCoN strongly believes that collective efforts with a common understanding can be effective for positive change.
