Neti Aarohan Nepal is committed to ethical practice across all areas of work. Research, consultancy, and advisory roles carry power and responsibility, especially in contexts involving mental health, stigma, and vulnerable populations.
Dignity and Respect: Every individual and community is treated with respect regardless of gender, caste, ethnicity, religion, ability, age, or identity. We actively challenge discriminatory practices and narratives.
Informed Consent: Participation in research or programs is voluntary, and information is shared in clear, understandable language, including local languages where appropriate.
Confidentiality and Data Protection: Sensitive personal and community information is handled with care, collected only when necessary, and stored responsibly.
Mental and Emotional Safety: We recognize the risks associated with mental health and stigma-related work, avoid retraumatization, and seek responsible referral pathways where needed.
Safeguarding and Grievance: We do not tolerate exploitation, harassment, abuse of power, or discrimination. Accountability is treated as a practice of integrity, supported by transparency, openness to feedback, and clear routes for raising concerns.
