Nepram hails from Manipur, a state in Northeast India that has experienced prolonged periods of insurgency and armed conflict. Her work has consistently engaged with the lived experiences of communities affected by violence, with a particular focus on women survivors.
Nepram has written and spoken on themes related to small arms control, the gendered impact of conflict, and indigenous identity in Northeast India. She has been associated with civil society networks that work on disarmament and the rehabilitation of widows and survivors of armed violence in Manipur.
Through her advocacy, she has sought to bring attention to issues affecting the Northeast within national and international policy conversations, including those relating to peace, security, and human rights.
Nepram is also recognised as an author whose writing engages with the history, culture, and contemporary challenges of Manipur and the broader Northeast region.
Her contributions are notable for placing the perspectives of women from a conflict-affected Indian state into discussions on disarmament and peacebuilding, an area where representation from Northeast India has historically been limited.
