Vacancy Announcement
Samari Utthan Sewa (SUS) was founded in 2008 and registered in the District Administration Office (DAO) of Chitwan with registration number 73 under the Social Welfare Act 1992 and Social Welfare Rules 1992. It is a member-based, non-profit making, and non-government organization. It is also registered in the Social Welfare Council with registration number 24740 and obtained a tax exemption certificate from the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) of Nepal with PAN number 302808852.
The SUS is initiating the project entitled "Protection and Assistance to vulnerable internal migrant workers from the Adult Entertainment Sector (AES) in Nepal-SHARMIK" to address the critical challenges faced by internal migrant workers (IMWs) especially those engaged in Adult Entertainment Sector (AES) and their families in project local. Workers in the Adult Entertainment Sector face barriers to their rights, including limited access to dignified job opportunities and insufficient awareness of their rights and social security mechanisms. They have a lack of information, organizational support, and inclusion in mainstream government initiatives. On the supply side, ineffective policy implementation, inadequate budgets, and weak political accountability hinder addressing issues faced by the Adult Entertainment Sector (AES) and internal migrant workers. The proposed project aims to address these challenges by enhancing awareness, providing support mechanisms, and advocating for policy improvements, ensuring a more equitable and secure environment for AES workers, including internal migrants.
