In 2004 and 2005, the UNESCO office in Kathmandu conducted an action-research project to work on the access and retention in school of girls from Dalit (or untouchable) castes. Given the social and cultural complexities relating to this most deprived caste group, their activity was focused on community mobilisation and gaining "people’s will" on girls’ education. This report attempts to document the process, the outcomes and the lessons learnt from UNESCO’s project to "Win People’s Will" (WPW) to educate girl children in two communities in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal.
