Indeed you have encountered with real condition of women of Nepal whose condition is really meagre and pathetic though their size is more than 50% in whole population size. I think the condition of Nepal will not improve if the condition of Nepalese women is not uplifted. So I also feel very sad to see these condition of our kind hearted mothers. Please Sahara lead your effective leadership with some magical vision to change this situation. I am also with you being conscious citizen. Hari, Thank you very much Sahara.

One group admitted they had once been robbed on the way to deposit money in the bank, so I suggested they should ask the men to accompany them, to provide additional security. They laughed at this idea and one woman explained that the men were not interested and did not support the women in what they were doing (even though at least indirectly they would also be getting the benefit of the increased income). At this, an older man stepped forward and shouted at the women - how dare they say such things, and how dare they say such things to foreigners! Linked by kuffir. Join Blogbharti facebook group.
