Public screening of the film Lakka Jawan, based on the issues caused by migration, has started today. Migration in Nepal is on the rise. The number of people migrating from villages to cities, and from cities to foreign countries is increasing day by day resulting in the number of youths in the villages of Nepal decreasing. The number of elderly people in rural areas is increasing as young people migrate abroad in search of education, employment, and opportunities.

The film shows a poignant scene in a village where an old man dies. Since most people of the village have migrated, women of the village are compelled to carry the body for burial. The film also seeks to convey a message against violence against women. Many Nepali women are assaulted and violated, but not many get justice as their abusers aren’t found guilty. The film also depicts the ongoing state of caste discrimination and untouchability in society.
