Aawaaj, is a Non-Governmental and non- profit Organization, registered at District Administration Office at Surkhet, Birendranagar in 1999 by Irada Gautam with joint initiatives of professionals with strong hope to demonstrate capacity against violence and discrimination of children and women in Midwestern region, Nepal.

In 1999 the sexual and domestic violence of young children and women had not discussed openly. Although increasing instances of abuse were being reported in newspapers in urban areas, there was a tendency of denying and concealing different forms of violence by the family and community at large in rural areas.
