IAWRT Nepal was formed in December 2006 through a consensus reached by the forty participants of a national conference on "The Role of Media Women in the Reconstruction Process." This national regional meeting involved participants from five districts around the country. The group was then governed by an AdHoc committee of nine members. This committee was later officially registered in Lalitpur Chief District office in September 2007. The Nepal chapter received its charter in October 2007 at the IAWRT 32nd Biennial Conference held in Nairobi, Kenya.

The next large meeting was an IAWRT regional meeting, "Women Building Peace" in December 2007, that involved participants from 18 countries.
The group has also developed a three-year partnership with Oklahoma university and have travelled there to take part in several workshops including "Gender Sensitive Visual Storytelling" and "Leadership of Women in Media."
The chapter took part in a preparatory committee for 1325 preparatory meeting and as a result the country now has a National Action Plan.
