About Shilaalekh

Remembering the past.
Seeking truth.
Building justice.

Shilaalekh is a memorial and truth-seeking initiative documenting enforced disappearances during the conflict in Nepal.

We believe that acknowledging the truth is the first step toward justice, healing, and ensuring that such violations are never repeated.

"To remember is to resist forgetting.
To record is to honor."
