President Bidya Devi Bhandari has said that Nepal's achievements in women empowerment and gender equality are unique for the global women's movement. However, a long journey is yet to be made for women's leadership development, equitable access and distribution of opportunities as well as economic progress.
In a message today on the occasion of the 113th International Women's Day, the President has made the statement while wishing for happiness, peace, and prosperity to all Nepali sisters and brothers at home and abroad.
It is relevant to internalize the aspects of a positive outcome of the provisions set by the constitution for ensuring women's participation and representation based on structures. "As a result of this, the role of women in all three layers of governments, parliament, and policy-making bodies has been robust. And, I think Nepali women's dignity has been uplifted from this," reads the message of the President.
The President has expressed the confidence that the Day would add energy and excitement to all to ensure equality and justice by eradicating all social ills existing in the society as well as all sorts of violence, discrimination, and suppression against women.
The main purpose of gender equality is to create an environment that shares equal rights and responsibility towards the nation, society, and family of women and men, the President stated in her message.
