The gender and sexual minority communities have complained that they have to suffer discrimination in the fields of citizenship, marriage, property, etc. within the law. On Sunday, the people of the sexual and sexual minority communities who participated in the program held by Nepal in Kathmandu complained that they were discriminated against in the constitution and laws and that they did not get the rights provided by the constitution and laws.
Although they are citizens of Nepal, they do not get the same rights as other citizens. They requested the parliamentarians participating in the program to play a role in making laws so that their rights are established.
People from gender and sexual minority communities have to be shunned by their families and communities because they belong to that community, the right to marry has been established through struggle, but there are legal problems in the case of children, they cannot get citizenship, and there are discriminatory situations such as having to strip and confirm their gender in order to get citizenship.

She also pledged to take initiatives through the parliament and the committee she is affiliated with regarding the community being left behind and facing various problems.
Speaker Subedi said that she is serious and sensitive towards this community and she said that she will discuss in detail from the place of law making and give necessary suggestions and instructions to the government.
Similarly, Chairman of the Women and Social Affairs Committee, Kiran Kumar Sah, said that he was heartbroken to hear about the sexual and sexual minority community's incidents and said that the committee will study everything and provide necessary support to solve their problems.
'The people of this community are also born naturally and contribute to the social and economic fields, so the state must create an environment for them to live respectfully and without discrimination in the society,' he said.
Maitini President of Nepal Lakshmi Ghalan said that the gender and sexual minority community had to suffer a lot from home, society and the state. He drew the attention of the parliamentarians to solve the problem by saying that the arrangements made by the constitution and law could not be implemented in practice.
