"The environment that I grew up in isn't necessarily the same as it is now. So, when we speak of equality, we need to understand what equality means now, rather than what it meant for me when I was growing up."
How can we improve the fight towards gender equality by reducing the gaps between generations? How is defining gender roles from an early age shaping inequalities in our societies?
We talk about Nepali cultures - wedding rituals, period rites, mandatory gender roles, paid vs household works, etc, and dissect how our society has continuously contributed towards inequality. The amazing writer and feminist, Archana Thapa, shares her experiences and stories on how we can slowly change the narrative and find solutions to gender equality issues in Nepal.
