The Stakeholder’s Safety Program
Fightback believes safety is strengthened when communities, families, schools, and individuals work together. Our Stakeholder’s Safety Program engages parents, teachers, boys, men, and wider community members to help create safer, more inclusive, and supportive environments for girls, women, adolescents, and vulnerable communities. By working with the wider ecosystem surrounding adolescents and young people, Fightback helps build a strong culture of awareness, prevention, support, and shared responsibility. Contact UsWhy Does It Matter?
Safety education becomes more effective when the people surrounding adolescents are also equipped with the awareness, attitudes, and practical skills needed to support them. Research conducted during Fightback’s Violence & Harassment Prevention and Mitigation Training showed positive changes not only among girls and boys, but also among parents, teachers, and wider communities. Parents reported improved communication with their children, teachers became more supportive of safety education, and boys demonstrated increased willingness to intervene safely in situations involving harassment or violence. By involving families, educators, boys, and men, the program helps create environments that promote confidence, dignity, empathy, accountability, and long-term wellbeing.
Our Methodology
Community Mapping
Participants identify key people, systems, institutions, and support networks within their communities that contribute to safer environments and stronger protection systems.
Interactive Learning & Simulations
Through guided activities, role-plays, discussions, and real-life scenarios, participants build empathy and practical understanding of everyday safety challenges, violence prevention, and respectful responses.
Shared Safety Commitments
Community members and stakeholders come together to create shared agreements and action plans that promote accountability, safer behaviors, respectful communication, and collective responsibility.
Open Community Dialogues
Facilitated discussions create safe spaces for participants to share experiences, exchange perspectives, challenge harmful norms, and collectively explore solutions for safer communities and schools.

Our Programs
Engaging Men and Boys as Allies
Fightback believes safer communities can only be built when boys and men actively become part of the solution. Through our Engaging Men and Boys as Allies program, participants learn practical bystander intervention skills, respectful communication, emotional awareness, accountability, and how to safely respond to harassment and violence. The program includes school-based, workplace, and community training focused on violence and harassment prevention, violence and harassment awareness, positive masculinity, situational awareness, and allyship through interactive and scenario-based learning approaches.
Since 2013, Fightback has reached approximately 43,500 boys and men across Nepal through partnerships with organizations such as UNHCR, VSO, BTMF, International Labour Organization, Nabil Bank, Tootle, and schools including DAV School, Kathmandu University, and LRI School.
Parental Empowerment Program
Designed for parents and caregivers of adolescents, this program helps families balance safety with independence. Parents learn how to identify risks while encouraging autonomy, confidence, emotional support, and open communication around consent, personal boundaries, online safety, and violence prevention. The program also encourages positive parenting approaches and strengthens parent-child communication around sensitive issues that are often difficult to discuss openly.
Educator Leadership Program
Teachers and school leaders play an important role in creating safe and inclusive learning environments. This program equips educators with practical tools to strengthen school safeguarding systems, identify warning signs of abuse or exploitation, respond more effectively to student concerns, and promote safer school cultures. The program also supports teachers in building greater awareness around adolescent wellbeing, respectful behavior, and violence prevention practices within educational settings.
Voices from the Program
We understood how to treat our children, understand them, and communicate with them.
Before Fightback training, I did not know how to identify bullying or respond to unwanted touch. Now I feel more confident speaking up, reporting concerns, and helping make my school a safer place.
Before being a trainee, I used to think this training was more important for girls than for boys. After the training, I realized it is equally important for boys as well.
