Kathmandu, Feb 20: Minister for Women, Children and Social Welfare Kumar Khadka has said that laws would be formulated and implemented to end all sorts of discrimination against women.
Inaugurating the Eight General Assembly of ‘SABAH Nepal’, an organization of women entrepreneurs, in the capital on Sunday, Minister Khadka said that the Ministry was formulating laws to end violence against women carried out in the name of practising witchcraft, Chhaupadi, dowry system, domestic violence and others.
“The President, Speaker and Chief Justice are women. Presence of women in the House is also remarkable but the violence against women has not ended yet. We find the cases of violence against women are being from the women themselves rather than from men. So, we need to be aware ourselves,” Khadka said.
On the occasion, Minister Khadka said that he was working to ensure treatment of uterus and breast cancer for free. RSS
