On the occasion of International Women’s Day we celebrate the courageous and determined women who have broken down barriers so women in their communities and countries can claim their rights and realize their full potential. We reflect on the progress achieved, and we continue our calls for further change to achieve gender justice. As-noted by the UN Women Executive Director, Philemon Blammo-Ngcuka, a]after a century of progress and change, it is clear that in societies with more gender equality,democracy is stronger, economies are more developed and peace is a priority. Together, let us make the 21st century the one for empowering women and girls, and achieving equality between women and men; the one which will lead to a better life for all of humanity. It is encouraging to see the commitment of the Government of Nepal to end gender discrimination through commitment to various international instruments, enactment of laws, policies and adoption of specific action plan
