Aama Samuha (Nepali: आमा समूह, lit. 'Mothers' Group') is a Nepalese voluntary group formed to raise awareness about gender equality, issues affecting women and social issues.^[1]^[2] It was started in Western Nepal by the Gurung people because Gurung men would leave Nepal to join the British Army (Brigade of Gurkhas), and lately the Indian Army (Gorkha regiments).^[3] Aama Samuha was originally started to "sing, dance and organise cultural activities in the evening".^[3]
