Mangalsen women see no point in voting

Women of the remote Achham local unit demanded a ban on alcohol, introduction of women-centric programmes at the local level and accessibility to a good healthcare system, but their demands remain unaddressed.

For women in Mangalsen Municipality in Achham, problems are aplenty. From becoming victims of domestic abuse at the hands of their husbands to meeting the everyday household needs such as managing clean drinking water for the family, the local women say their demands for safer living, health benefits and fulfilment of their basic needs remain unaddressed and are not featured in the agenda of political parties who rally to seek their votes.
