Dear All,

 

As you are aware that the constitution draft has addressed some of the issues of women regarding participation and rights of family to property but has been unable to address core issues of women. Some of those issues are as follows:-

 

1. Removal of the word "patriarchal" from the Preamble

2. Requirement of both father AND mother to be citizens for the children to receive citizenship by descent

3. Unequal provision in providing naturalized citizenship to foreign spouse

4. Removal of reproductive health right from fundamental rights

5. Provision of insufficient women participation in Central, Federal and Local Legislative as well as Executive

6. No guarantee of women members in Constitutional Commissions

7. No guarantee of women in key positions of State Leadership

 

In this regard, we would like to cordially invite all of you and your associations to be part of the campaign and also to participate in a protest rally being organized on following date, time and venue demanding gender friendly constitution:

 

Date: 10^th July, 2015 (25th Asar, 2072)

Time: 5 p.m.

Venue: Babarmahal

 

 

We look forward to your solidarity and support as always.

 

Best regards,

 

Sabin Shrestha

 

Executive Director
