UMN has identified the following groups of people as being the poorest people living in poverty (PPLP) within Nepal: a) people living with disabilities (PWD), b) children and adolescents, especially girls, c) women, especially single women, and d) Dalits (caste minorities), in addition to other six district specific PPLP based on UMN’s understanding of poverty. Poverty is understood by UMN as multi-dimensional and comes from a web of interrelated causes including: despair, oppression, injustice, inequity, conflict, shame, disrespect, ill-health, vulnerability, and environmental degradation. The incidence of poverty and injustice is high among these identified groups of people living in poverty. They have low level of access to public services and fundamental rights. They frequently face stigma and discrimination in the society leading to become more vulnerable with trauma and poor self-esteem. These PPLP are among the most disadvantaged groups in Nepal due to the practice of discrimination, and sometimes multiple discrimination such as on the grounds of their disability, poverty, caste or gender. Most of the poor children, especially girls, and PWD cannot complete full cycle of primary or secondary education due to the high incidence of poverty, stigma and discrimination. Women and girls in Nepal live in a patriarchal society and therefore the gender gap is still significantly wide. They have limited access to property, public services and decision making process both at home and in community or society. Women and girls suffer sexual, physical and psychological violence more than men and boys. The Dalits in Nepali society are socially and economically marginalized and are still treated as untouchables facing many forms of social discrimination. Almost half of Nepal’s Dalits live below the poverty line. Dalits either have low landholding or have no land, and lag behind in their income, education, health and other human development indicators.
