अझै पनि म कसैले नारी भन्दा, 

शोषण सुन्छु‌, दमन सुन्छु,

अत्याचार अनि बलात्कार सुन्छु।

किन सुन्छु ? उत्तर छैन, 

तर,

तर, थाहा छ यो कुरा

कि, ती मसिना बालबालिकाले बरालिँदै बाटोमा आफ्नो बालापन आफ्नै ढङ्गमा बगाउन पाउँदैनन् अचेल।

What our young facilitators felt in sharing their ideas about dating violence and SDGs to people of their age

We want to give a round of applause to our facilitators who carried out orientations on gender-based violence and dating violence in Kathmandu Valley under the ‘We for Change’ project supported by Global Youth Empowerment Fund and implemented in collaboration with Men Engage Alliance. Through this project, we aimed to raise awareness on gender-based violence, dating violence and SDG's Goal 5 and promote positive behaviours and role of young people in eliminating violence against their partners.

We directly reached 1146 young people through orientation sessions in different colleges in Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur.

Let’s hear what our facilitators have to say regarding their experience of being part of the ‘We for Change’ project.

पानीजन्य रोगहरूबाट बच्न र यसबारे जनचेतना फैलाउन हाम्रा क्रियाकलापहरू

कविता बस्नेत

सन् २०१५को विनाशकारी भूकम्पपछि धेरै ठाउँहरूमा पानीजन्य रोगको महामारी फैलिएको थियो । भूकम्पबाट पानीका मूहानहरूमा क्षति पुगेकाले तथा हजारौँ जनसङ्ख्या विस्थापित भएकाले धेरै मानिस स्वच्छ पानीको पहुँचबाट टाढा भए ।

गाउँमा भन्दा पनि सहरी क्षेत्रमा हैजाजस्ता रोगको प्रकोप बढ्यो । नेपाल सरकार, स्वास्थ्य सेवा विभाग अन्तर्गत इपिडिमियोलोजी तथा रोग नियन्त्रण महाशाखाको तथ्याङ्कले पनि काठमाडौँ उपत्यकाका सहरी बस्तीहरू हैजाको जोखिममा रहेको देखायो ।

जथाभाबी दिसापिसाब गनार्ले, दूषित तथा सडेगलेका खानेकुरा खानाले तथा पानी शुद्धीकरण नगरी पिउनाले हैजा लाग्ने गर्दछ । समयमा उपचार नपाउँदा हैजाका बिरामीको मृत्यु नै हुन सक्छ । तर, सामान्य सावधानी अपनाएमा  यसबाट बच्न पनि सकिन्छ ।

Diary from March 8

Kshitij Kayastha

On March 8, 2017, I witnessed one hundred or so men walking along the busy roads of Lalitpur, holding placards that voiced their solidarity against the violence faced by girls and women. The march was not anything special because a march walked by a few men cannot change the way of the world, but it surely can bring about a revolution: a spark to change the way of the world.

केही गर्न सक्छु भन्ने भएको छ

मुना थापा मगर, सिन्धुली
मेरो नाम मुना । सिन्धुली जिल्ला, कमलामाई नगरपालिकाको वडा नम्बर ४मा बस्छु । असाध्यै हरियाली र सुन्दर ठाउँ छ मेरो गाउँ । भूकम्प आउने समयमा म कक्षा १२को परीक्षा दिएर बसेकी थिएँ । उत्तिसारो बोल्न मन लाग्दैनथ्यो मलाई । मन लाग्दैन पनि के भन्नु, सिधासिधी भन्दा डर लाग्थ्यो । संस्थाका मान्छे भन्ने त कोही चिनेको भए त के ! त्यही भएर पनि म आफैलाई आफू कमजोर छु, बोल्न पनि सक्दिन भन्नेजस्तो हुन्थ्यो । आत्मविश्वास कम थियो भन्दा नि हुन्छ । कस्तो नरमाइलो हुन्छ नि त्यस्तो हुँदा :(
