The aptly named Butterfly Effect, whereby even the smallest of chang­es today can alter or even revolu­tionize the future, is helping raise awareness about gender-based vio­lence, sexuality, and human rights through music.

The Butterfly Effect is bringing together female- headed bands in a celebratory concert, part of its three-phase event that also involves key personnel and celebrities pledg­ing their support through hashtags and photographs over social media. Donations raised through the Cel­ebration Phrase of live concert will be utilized in awareness programs in urban and rural areas of the country. Videos of the concert will appear on TV and social media to further spread the word.

Organized by Sangeet Pathsha­la, in association with Dristi Nepal, a non-profit working for women affected by drugs, HIV and AIDs, the concert will feature Nattu with 11.11 OST, Samriddhi Rai, Mental Radio, Somiya Baraily, Space, Didi Bahini, Faithom, and Superfuzz. The Anna­purna Express is the media partner for the event.
