Adhikaar’s research team recently completed the first comprehensive demographic and needs assessment study of the Nepali-speaking community, one of the newest and fastest growing group in New York City. The report, “Snapshots of the Nepali-speaking Community in New York City: Demographics and Challenges”, captures the struggles of this emerging community as it seeks to grow roots in a new home.

About Adhikaar: Adhikaar for Human Rights and Social Justice is a New York based non-profit organization that works with Nepali-speaking communities to promote human rights and social justice for all. Adhikaar focuses works with marginalized groups, women, and youth to promote workers’ rights, access to affordable healthcare, immigrant rights, and youth leadership. However, due to the lack of resources available to Nepali-speaking communities, Adhikaar also serves as an information hotline and provides referrals and assistance, including translation and interpretation, on different issues confronted by our community members.
