Kathmandu, Aug 8: The concerned stakeholders here have stressed the need of holding consultations on the bill formulated to replace some provisions of the Civil Code.
Speaking at an interaction organised by the Department of Law under the All Nepal Women’s Association (ANWA), the participants were of the view that some welfare provisions of the Code should be continued as it is.
Saying that a lot has been achieved in relation to women’s rights, ANWA Chairperson Goma Devkota said that sensitivity should be taken into account on the issues of justice to the women.
Likewise, viewing that the patriarchal mindset that are hindrance to the coexistence of women in the society should be discouraged, former minister Radha Gyawali said that women could perform well as men if they were provided with equal opportunities.
Vice President of the Nepal Bar Association Usha Malla Pathak suggested not replacing the important provisions while formulating a new bill.
Legal practitioners Shanti Khanal and Baburam Dahal viewed that although women are equipped with legal rights, the implementation side is weak. RSS
