Birth is a beginning…not an end, unlike how the Caste System in Nepal treats it.
The Nepalese constitution promulgated on September 20, 2015 discriminates against women. Rights available to men aren't available to women. One such right is the right to pass on citizenship to children. This is the Nepali version of a series of info-graph which very clearly lays out the details.

Video of April 2014 Rosenfield Program presentation at Grinnell College. It covers the plight of marginalized groups, such as Dalits, women, Tharus and Tamangs both in the country and abroad, and what COMMITTED is doing about it all.
The incredibly homogeneous power structure of Nepal is an anachronistic slap in the face of the equally incredibly diverse population of the country.
How do some Nepalese see statistics about composition of different bodies in Nepal?
While a few explain away the disproportionate representation of the High Caste by ascribing it to education, others are against disseminating such information because, according to them, they promote animosity and inter-caste hatred etc. These "educated" Nepalese fail to see/understand -- among other things -- how information is actually educational and empowering!
The biggest killer of Nepalese girls and women is suicide. Part of the reason has to do with Nepalese society not valuing female lives anywhere near as much as those of males in general and other social issues arising from cultural practices and mentality. There are things we, the Nepalese men, can do to change things around.
