KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress (NC) President Sher Bahadur Deuba has extended his best wishes to all the Nepali sisters living in and outside of the country on the occasion of the International Women’s Day. The 109th International Women’s Day is being observed today with various programmes. The theme for this year is: ‘Think Equal, Build Smart and Innovate for Change’.
In a message of best wishes, NC President Deuba lamented that the cases of violence against women (VAW), oppression, subjugation and exploitation were still rife in our society.
