Rakshya Bam: Gen Z must keep questioning power

Growing up in Kailali, Bam found her voice early and stepped into activism. She now urges Nepali Gen Z to stay engaged in politics, vote and keep pushing for real change even after the streets are quiet.

Kailali shaped Rakshya Bam’s roots. The population was mostly Tharu, though many families from the hills had also migrated to the plains. She heard different accents and saw different traditions. This taught her early that despite the diversity and differences, we share the same soil beneath our feet.
