Nepal’s Ministry of Women fails to promote women’s leadership within–hence anywhere

With Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal expanding his Council of Ministers for the tenth time recently, the leadership of the Ministry of Women, Children and Senior Citizens has changed again. Succeeding Nepal Samajbadi Party leader Mahindra Raya Yadav, Nepali Congress leader Surendra Raj Acharya was appointed as the new minister.

Yadav took charge of this ministry on March 31. But just after 33 days, he was transferred to the Ministry of Water Supply.
