Why legal literacy is still low in Nepal: What every young Nepali should know

Legal rights are meaningless if people don’t understand them. But why is legal literacy so low in Nepal?

Nepal’s literacy rate has improved a lot in recent years. According to the latest data , around 77.4% of the population can read and write. But even with this progress, many people still don’t know the basics of legal rights and responsibilities. That’s what we call a lack of legal literacy, and it’s a bigger problem than most people realise.
