Marching Ahead: A Profile Book of Women Constituent Assembly Members (Nepal)

The women of Nepal are strong, articulate and capable leaders. The constituent Assembly members selected and profiled in this book  demonstrate to all women and men that leadership arises in all segments of society, all backgrounds, regions, ethnicities, castes and political parties. Leadership and potential knows no one area or one particular type of woman.

The women interviewed in the pages that follow were selected to serve as an inspiration to all women and as examples of the different paths each of them took to become a member of the Constituent Assembly. These women exemplify all women in Nepal and their individual struggles to contribute to their families and their nation. Many of the stories are of historic struggle, often against unbelievable odds. They should serve as an example to all that each person can become involved in government and politics in order to help all women and the people of Nepal, because that is what each of these women is now doing - helping the people of Nepal.
