Former President Bhandari's message on Women's Day

Kathmandu, March 8: Former President Bidya Devi Bhandari has wished peace, prosperity and happiness to all sisters and brothers living in the country and abroad on the occasion of the 114th Women's Day today.    
    
The Women's Day is marked globally, expressing solidarity to the campaign for women's rights and gender equality. The Day is observed this year under the theme, 'Invest in women: Accelerate progress.'    
    
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 resulted 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. (RSS)
