Good job Manisha



Good job Manisha

It was revealed by the Ministry of Home Affairs that the number of women killed during the recent killer earth-quake was more than that of men. This could be the indication that the women are more vulnerable to men during such natural calamity. Many women have delivered their babies in the make-shift camps where proper foods and health care services are not available. Many women had even miscarriages due to shock. Other women are engaged in looking after the well being of their children who are passing through mentally stressful life due to the recent devastating earth-quake.

Kudos to Manisha Koirala, Goodwill Ambassador of United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), who made an effort to counsel women folks living in make-shift camps erected in Tundikhel, Kathmandu as reported “Manish to help ensure dignity of women” (THT, 23 May, Page 10). During such natural calamity, women face tremendous mental pressure concerning their reproductive health and security. Gender based violence increases during this kind of natural calamity putting women at more risk and dangerous situation. Where are the so called women leaders and activists these days who were supposed to be visiting these make shift tents to ensure the services rendered by the government to the affected women and children are adequate?

This is the time for the government, semi government, concerned authorities and organization to give maximum attention towards these vulnerable groups of conservative society for their social security and reproductive health. Like Manisha said that attentions of all have now been diverted towards mass rehabilitation and reconstruction. We tend to ignore smaller things which are, in fact, more important in terms of saving many vulnerable and innocent lives. It is hoped that her effort through the initiatives of UNFPA to ensure dignity of women will bear fruit and the other women leaders and activists follow her acts.

Causes and consequences of self-immolation

Self-immolation—the act of setting oneself on fire—is one of the most extreme, painful, and lethal forms of self-harm and suicide. Globally, it represents a profound intersection of psychiatric distress, intense social strain, and political expression. Causes of Self-Immolation: The underlying motivations for self-immolation vary significantly across different regions, cultures, and socioeconomic demographics. ·      Political and Ideological Protest: In Western nations and certain East Asian histories, self-immolation is highly associated with political statement .

The most common diagnoses include major depressive disorder , schizophren...

Mid-term election and referendum simultaneously

  Mid-term election and referendum simultaneously The people are tired of politicians who make wonderful promises but have miserably failed to fulfill their rosy promises. As a result, they seem to be gradually losing their credibility by days. However, having said that, the level of political awareness among the majority number of the people is still low which has been the advantage for the politicians to lure them towards their irresponsible and dirty politics. In the recent past weeks, we saw thousands of innocent people out in the streets to cheer up the so-called senior leaders who have miserably failed to lead the nation. We can see now the senior leaders and their parties are busy in forming another coalition government following the Supreme Court’s decision to nullify the unification of NCP a few days ago thus splitting the CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist. It was, in fact, a huge legal blow to them. This situation has created another political chaos in the country which might in...
