Reshma shrestha: First of all women themselves need to
change their vision towards other women. Women themselves
are dominating other women (socially, culturally).
Second the dominating factors embedded in the society itself
needs to be eliminated.
Thirdly, women shouldn’t be seen as less capable. They should
be provided with platform to demonstrate their capability.
Now in most of the programs (education, job opportunity,
projects), the participation of women has been encouraged. This
has created some space for women empowerment. This type of
notion should not be for the sake of fulfilling the requirements of
donor agencies, but also there need to clear process and
procedure for marginalized women to have access of it.
Intelligence mind to eliminate gender
discrimination

To reform what does intellectuals have to say about it strong
organization working for women should be formed compulsorily
at every institution thereby encouraging all the girls to
participate in its activities. Most importantly, we the girls
ourselves have to stand together for any sort of biasness and
unite together to combat any problems. Until we are together
with common vision for empowering ourselves, male will keep
on discriminating us for what we are; the way of discrimination
may differ but discrimination is still existing in our society-

It is true that until and unless we do not walk up to
make our stand in the society, the differences
between male and female will always exists. This is
not only the society that makes us weak, but its us
who let them make us weaker.
