Women in politics: Redefining representation and empowering others

Nepal transitioned into a federal state of government after the promulgation of the Constitution of Nepal in 2015. One remarkable achievement since this shift has been the significant arrival of women in politics .

A total of 14,352 (40.96 per cent) elected representatives in the 2017 local election and 14,407 (41.22 per cent) elected representatives in the 2022 local election were women.
