About Aawaaj News & Research

Aawaaj News & Research is an independent news and social research platform based in Nepal. Founded in 2017 and formerly known as Aawaaj News, the organisation expanded its scope in 2025 by adding a social research component to better understand the interplay between the social and the political in a thematic and systemic way. While it continues to publish news reports on some of Nepal’s most pressing socio-political issues, Aawaaj News & Research also seeks, through its social research, to uncover the underlying reasons behind these issues and to identify the themes that shape our society. Its core objective is to investigate the systemic silencing of marginalised voices along three intersecting axes: class, gender, and race/caste. It asks critical questions such as: Who benefits from this silencing? Are we, perhaps unconsciously, complicit in it?
