KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has extended best wishes to all Nepali sisters and brothers living in the country and abroad on the occasion of the 109th International Women’s Day today. He wished the Day inspired all to work for socioeconomic empowerment of the women to make headway to prosperity.
On this occasion, PM Oli reminded the role of those who worked and sacrificed their lives to ensure the political, economic, social and cultural rights of women. The Nepali society has the time honored tradition to honor women.
There are, however, ill practices as Chhaupadi and dowry are challenging the society, he said, urging everyone to end such ill practices to build a just and civilized society.
Celebrating the achievements Nepal has made on women’s empowerment and rights, the PM lauded the growing participation of women in state mechanisms.
According to the PM, the national resolution of ‘Prosperous Nepal, Happy Nepali’ won’t be realized unless the meaningful change is brought to women’s life.
