"हामी अहिले ब्याचलरका बिद्यार्थी हौ| महिला हुनुमा हामीलाई गर्व लाग्छ तर बिध्यमान नेपाली समाजमा महिला र पुरुष बराबर भएको देखिदैन| कानून छ, त्यो आफ्नो ठाउमा छ, तर रितिरिवाज र धर्म संस्कृतिको प्रभाव पनि यहाँ उतिनै छ| मानिसहरु यहाँ भगवान ज्यादा मान्छन् र कानून कम| तेसैले महिलालाई उचित अवसर दिने कुरामा समाजको रुपान्तरनको पनि आवस्यकता छ| बिबाह नगरुन्जेल महिलाहरु स्कुल- घरमा सिमित हुन्छन, फेरी बिबाह पश्चात घर - घर, यसरीनै जिन्दगि बित्छ| महिला विकास पनि समयानुकुल हुनु आबश्यक छ| त्यसैले समाजको शोचमा परिवर्तन ल्याउनु आवश्यक छ- अनि महिला शशक्तिकरण नि सम्भव हुन्छ|"

Q: Do you feel proud to be a woman? If yes, then why?
A: Of course, I do, because a woman has dual personas. She is such being who can be active both inside and outside their home. Men are not the same in that matter. Women have more responsibility but still they do it because they have more patience and power. If given opportunity, women can go very high. Men lack patience. We women are full of it. And that’s why Women are strong and that’s why I am proud.

Q: Would you convert to become a man if given chance?
A: Yes but not because I want to experience being a man but to exchange my Womanhood with my husband's manhood to make him see the plights, the sorrows, the fears of being a woman. But only for a certain time though. I wouldn’t accept such offer if it was otherwise.

Q: What differences do you find in the status of woman in the past and present?
A: The present is very bright than the past. We have laws to support women voices and choices to empower them. The only problem is the ex*****on part. If it were to execute properly, then it would surely make a difference to change the deep rooted mentality for it is that mentality which disrupts woman's movement towards empowerment. Along with that, the dual responsibility that a modern woman has to bear is also a hindrance for woman's independence. Nowadays people are educated which is fortunate for our children. They can embrace the difference and move forward.

Q: Being such an inspirational figure in legal education field, what do A: you think what can be your role in women empowerment?
I am a strong believer of women empowerment and I have been involved in many NGOs previously working in the fields of women empowerment such as FWLD. While I am still a professor, my main contribution can be imparting of education for I believe education to be the only thing that can amend the deep rooted patriarchal thoughts in society. And after I retire I shall continue to empower women through social services.

Hello! I am Angshu Neupane from Chabahil. I am currently doing B. Sw. in St. Xaviers. And I like being a girl because girls are more cheerful than boys. I know the discrimination between male and female is deep rooted in society. Still in the houses of namesake educated people, it is the woman who has to come home from work and again do the house chores. Not the men. I accept that men and women are different, mainly biologically but if we want to talk of equality then those differences must be embraced. If given equal chance, men and women can be on equal footing. I believe in equality. But I would not trade my womanhood for anything. Because I love being a woman and I want to stay that way.

Ni hao! I am To Ra from China. I am a housewife in China. Most of the women in China are housewives and take care of their children, husband and families. Men go out to work. But women are not less in any way. Instead women are more powerful than men in China. And that’s why I am proud to be a woman.

I am Kanchhi Badhyakar currently living in Lalitpur. I am 75 years old and I have struggled throughout my life being a woman. I think, today most of the women enjoy freedom but in our days it was not so. We had so much to be concerned of, our husband, our family, and even the society. But today I can see that almost all husbands are very loving to their wife and obey and respect them. Women do not need to do so many things today. It’s not hard for them nowadays. It has changed. I wish I was 25 and not 75 so that I could have this freedom now and live again. I want to grow up once again as a woman. I don’t blame me being a woman, I just blame the time I was born in. But I am very happy to see that my grand daughters have bright future ahead of them because they can enjoy their rights being a woman.

मेरो नाम कान्छी बाध्यकार हो| म हाल ललितपुरमा बस्छु| म अहिले ७५ बर्षको भए र महिला भएर जिउदा यतिन्जेल मैले धेरै संघर्ष गर्नुपर्यो| मलाई एस्तो लाग्छ कि अहिलेका महिलाहरुले धेरै स्वतंत्रता पाएका छन् पहिलेको तुलनामा, अझ हाम्रो पालासंग दाजने हो भनेत! हाम्रो पालोमा यस्तो कहाँ हुन्थ्यो र? हामीलाई त धेरै कुराको ख्याल राख्नुपर्थ्यो उहिले- लोग्नेको, घरपरिवारको र समाजको पनि| अहिले तेस्तो छैन नि! आजकल त बुढाहरुले नि आफ्नी बुढीको धेरै माया गर्छन र इज्जत पनि गर्छन| अहिलेको केटीहरुलाई हाम्रो जस्तो दुख नि छैन- न घसपात न दाउरा! तेसैले धेरै कुरा परिवर्तन भैसक्यो| मलाई नि कहिलेकाही म ७५ को सट्टा अहिले २५ वर्ष भएको भएनी हुन्थ्यो जस्तो लाग्छ| एकचोटी फेरी अहिलेको जमानामा महिला भएर जिउन मन लागिछ! तर म आफुलाई महिला हुनुमा कहिले दुख मान्दिन - मैले ज जति भोग्नु पर्यो त्यो त समयले गर्दा हो| म यो कुरामा खुसी छु कि अब मेरो नातिनिहरुले तेस्तो दुख झेल्नु पर्दैन| उनीहरुको भबिस्य राम्रो छ किनकि उनीहरुले अब धेरै अधिकार उपयोग गर्न पाउनेछन|
