Message from the Chairperson

Mrs. Manjeeta Upadhaya

Common Platform for Common Goal (CoCoN) has been creating platforms bringing common issues relating to the human rights together to draw 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 vulnerability of the human rights situation in the country. Since its inception CoCoN has been taking initiations for collective efforts with common understanding of national and international established values, norms and principles of human rights in order to avoid dilemma 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 focusing on combating violence against women, human trafficking, and strengthening rule of law, capacity building of human rights defenders and strengthening network among the 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 beliefs that collective efforts with common understanding can make a difference for positive change.
