"Legal arrangements alone are not enough for gender equality." I believe that such an international conference will play a role in bringing about changes in behavior as every person should change their behavior and work on women's empowerment and gender mainstreaming. I think that the goal of addressing it has been achieved.'

Article 18 guarantees the right to equality under the fundamental rights of Nepal's constitution.
