Here are my thoughts. 1) Establish affirmitive action policy: we know in nepal literary rate of men is higher than women. To achieve that we have to start some goverment funding speacially for women to teach them read and write for elderly. For girls we have to convince parents to send them to school or have to pay some consequences(this may be hars but need to do if u have to get a goal. 2) we have to bring ammendment which states one cannot discriminate on employment opportunity on the basis of sex, caste(we know the problem lies here too) and regional affiliation( like taraiwasi are discriminated in goverment workplace) 3) Establishing a EEOC. It will monitor the hiring process of the companies and should be given authority to fine them. 4) EquL Pay Right= women should be given equal pay as men. I find this very disturbing its practice very commonly from low wages to higher classes.it should also covered that jobs held by men and women need to "substantially equal" but not "identical".it have to be done cuz an emplouer many change the job titles of women worker in order to pay them less than a men. 5)EMILY's law(that what they say here in usa but we can find suitable name for our purpose): EMILY's list(early money is like a yeast) should be establish for women n lower caste as a financial network for pro-choice Democratic women running for national or local political office. Ths makes a significant impact on increasing numbers of women elected to decision makind posts. 6) Sexul and caste basis harrasment should be counted as a form or illegal job discrimnation. one who found doing so should ba penalized by different means. Companies should be penalized monetarily where as individual shoud be marked so that it will be reviewed during a promotions. 7)Tightening a laws for sex offenders, ppl commiting violence against women 8)Establishing a funds service for victims of rape and domestic violence, and providing a special training of police officers. 9) Mandating a law for companies to train their workforce to understand this acts. I think this are the things which may can help. During the course we may have to twik here and there but it can be achieved. To get this goal we need equal help from a men too so instead of seeing root of problem we should be able to bring them to our revolution. Having said this i am just trying to give my ideas that i learnt in my workplace. P.S. writer works(as an intern) for DoD s' EEOC office as mediator for job disputes on the basis of sex, race, color, physical disability and age.
