Some 100 provisions in 43 Acts are discriminatory to women

If political parties don’t want to amend the discriminatory laws, then the constitution itself should be amended, experts say.

Women rights have been enshrined as fundamental rights in the Constitution of Nepal . Article 38 ensures their proportional representation in all state mechanisms along with special opportunities in education, health, employment, and social security on the basis of positive discrimination besides guaranteeing them equal rights to property and family affairs.
