even thoguh i am a female myself... i think the reason Nepal is behind is because of the females. We sacrife too much for men, and get very little in return. It may not be in everyones' case but it is in MOST. Us women were tought from birth that men and women are diffenent. When I was lilltle my gardma never let me go out any play with my friend(guys). She said " Keti manchey bhaye pachi gahr ko kam garnu parcha, bahira gayera lakhar lakhar hoina" I will never forget that. It is like we are seprating ourselves from the freedom. SOme of us try to get it but its not enough. We need more women who aren't afraid to stand for their rights. ~ashra~
