In the message, the former President reminded that Nepal has made remarkable achievements in the constitutional, legal and policy fronts for women rights and gender equality, which she argued, were the result after various awareness campaigns and movements launched for social justice, women rights and gender equality.
The constitution has fundamentally enshrined the rights of women as their participation and representations at State agencies. Women's role has been strengthened at all three tiers of government, parliament and policy levels. She wished the Women's Day inspired everyone to continue their journey towards equality by ending social ills, violence and oppressions meted out against women.
