Society for Empowering Human Resource (SEHER) has been providing services since 1998 with a vision of a prosperous and violence-free society with a mission to empower marginalized segment of society to assert their social, economic and political rights.

SEHER uses a rigorous approach in analyzing aspects that contribute to oppression, injustice, violence, vulnerability, discrimination, abuse and poverty in the society while treating the survivors as subjects of the change process.
SEHER is guided by a vision of a society where the poorest, marginalized, socially excluded and unreachable are empowered to overcome their poverty, social, political and economic burdens and enjoy equal human rights and opportunities in order to lead a life of dignity and self-fulfilment. To achieve such a gigantic task and multi-dimensional vision SEHER as an NGO may not be the sole remedial force, so it also pursues the strengthening of intra-organisational capacities through partnerships, alliances building, advocacy efforts, campaigns and programme cooperation at operational as well as policy levels.

SEHER consistently aims to make its contribution towards the development of such a culture.
