Lalitpur, Oct. 19: The two-day Beijing+25 Review Conference organised by the National Network for Beijing Review Nepal (NNBN) concluded here on Friday.
In the two-day review programme, the participants discussed 12 various subjects separately.
Minister of Women, Children and Senior Citizen, Tham Maya Thapa had inaugurated the conference on Thursday.
The 4th International Women Conference, which was held in Beijing, China, 25 years ago had decided to launch campaigns against the violence and end all discriminations against women.
Around 80,000 common women across the world had participated in the 4th conference. Beijing review conference is organised every five years.
Speaking at the two-day Beinjing+25 Review closing ceremony on Friday, Anup Raj Sharma, Chief Commissioner of the National Human Rights Commission, said that the condition of women in the remote areas was still worse even though the Constitution has addressed the women empowerment issues.
Talking about the 40 per cent women’s participation in all sectors, he said that some seats were provided to the women just to show the women’s participation.
“Many evil traditional customs are still in practice in the society. As a result, many powerless and uneducated women have been victimised. They are unable to get justice in lack of the proper implementation of law,” he added.
Chief Commissioner Sharma said that many women victims were unable to get justice even though there were laws in favour of the women.
Recalling that the Chhaupadi custom ended during his term in the Supreme Court 12 years back, he said the evil practice was still prevalent in the society.
Chandra Prasad Ghimire, secretary at the Ministry of Women, Children and Senior Citizen, said that all the gains achieved in women sector must be safeguarded to improve the women’s position. “Joint efforts will be supportive to achieve the best results,” he said.
“The government should launch awareness and women empowering programme targeting the remote areas and the marginalised community to improve the women’s condition,” said Dipendra Kafle, secretary at the National Women Commission.
