'Women United for Climate Justice'
According to the organizers, women activists in various fields have embarked on a 13-day trek with the slogan 'Women United for Climate Justice' to draw attention to the effects of climate change.

Prior to the trek, Sathsathai had completed the trek to Annapurna base camp and Mardi Himal area. It is believed that this campaign will not only highlight climate change and women's issues but will also help in the promotion of domestic tourism.
The organizing body has stated that other people from various organizations have also provided positive support during the campaign.

Elite Expeditions has taken over the responsibility of other management during the campaign. It is said that the police has also been deployed keeping in mind the possible security challenges during the campaign.
The village municipality has no information about the program
Khumbupasang Lhamu is a village municipality with black stone. A special program is being organized in this village municipality. It is also planned to issue a manifesto on the occasion of International Women's Day on the opportunity given to women in the lives of the people due to climate change.
