One Year Anniversary of Youth Movement Against Corruption

Kathmandu. One year has passed since the historic movement by the youth generation (Gen Z) against good governance and corruption.

This unprecedented revolt, which began in August last year, changed the country's political landscape. The youth's anger erupted on the streets after the then government suddenly banned 26 social media platforms. On one hand, ordinary citizens were forced to go abroad due to extreme economic despair and unemployment, while on the other hand, the luxurious lifestyles displayed by the families of leaders and the influential increased public dissatisfaction. Disillusionment with the old leaders who had been holding the reins of power for decades further fueled the movement.
