This is Gunjeswar(Gus), still a nepalese but living in UK. Thank you for the blog on women issues and certainly this is an area to look to. Can I say thank you for the good work you are doing in Nepal. As a person I would not expect a big change because of the donner alone and the key is the government policy and how effective they are in implementing those policy issues. But unfortunately, I am sure you know by now, the government is still lack the policy and commitment in political part though they speak nice. Still they run after petty interests and corruption so that they can elect next time. This power game bringing people nowhere and ppl should beg donnation from outside always, bleak future still there.

So far women issues are in Nepal, it is the combination of factors- one is women are still lack education, early marriage, dependent with parents or husband and lack of systematic support group (though there few support groups in the country, I am a bit agree with Mochi Sada there, that they are unknown to many and they lack committment because some of them are run by ppl of feaudalistic mind or by landlord attitude mentality though they may be good in talking! I hope you will recognise such people when they approach for funding!! I have nothing to say about Sapan's contribution but I do think country needs more centre like UK style Citizen Advice Bureau with refugee facility for emergency support for those of victim of this ill treatment. And I do suggest you to co-ordinate such Bureau for few years and may be hand over partially to government later. You can look the exit strategy always.

Anyway Keep doing your good work. Look forward to hearing more from you. Thank you xxx

Your opinion and spirit to support helpless people can not be challenged. Definitely, the first thing is to preserve and promote humanity. The ill event you mentioned is Nepal's day to day reality and it is less to only condemn this. But my objective is not to praise you or any super hero (heroine) who evacuate people from trouble. Let's try to see another side of the coin.

In the name and spirit of poor people or justice to them, donors have been producing super human in Nepal for last many years. This is not new thing. Unfortunately all these super human (hu..woman)........sorry for gender insensitivity! are from landlord family. After well education, they incarnate as a god or goddeses for helpless and poor with support from donor organizations. They, on behalf of the poor and excluded, fight against the injustice. And in most of the examples these types of cases are settled finaly following the 'give and take policy' in a dramatic manner. The super hu(wo)man continues his/her shop in searching of new cases.

Respected Sarah, can you show me any other 'super hero or heroine' from Musahar, Bantar, Kusbadiya, Bankariya, Chepang, Hayu, Raji, Jhangad or other most disadvantage communities? Who fight their own struggle? Have you supported to empower these people? Have you thought why Nepal is still most poor country and not moving ahead? If no, then look at yourself. You might be engaged or circled with many Nepali feudals and landlords. So, pls stop ornamenting and decorating new god and goddesses. This world doesn't require more god and goddesses. It requires general men and women who think and do work to make this world more beutiful and just.
