Pradhan and Rana both asked players to bring change in themselves and assist in the campaign since they are role models of the country.



Footballers, who were participating for the first time in the debate on gender sensitivity and domestic violence, promised to change themselves and cooperate in the campaign.







Former captains Raju Shakya, Upendra Man Singh, Hari Khadka and Rakesh Shrestha shared their views and asked ANFA and Sathi not to limit their campaign in a room but also expand it to a broader arena. ANFA President Ganesh Thapa promised to continue such programs in the future.
