Women leaders of various political parties have said that questions are still being raised about women's abilities. At the 'Ma Bolchu' program organized by Media Advocacy Group in Lalitpur on Wednesday, women leaders of Congress, UML and Maoists said that the responsibility given to women will be doubted while sharing their experiences.

Former Speaker and Maoist leader Onsari Gharti Magar said that women are kept away from responsibilities and even if they are given, they are limited to 'co'. 'Women are not entrusted as much as possible. Even if it is given, they are given the responsibility of the partner,' she said, 'Can they be given the main responsibility? They doubt that .' Even though she was the speaker herself, she also shared her experience of distrusting how the sitting ministers run the parliament. 

Constituent Assembly member and UML leader Vinda Pandey said that there are still questions about women's ability in politics. Pandey says, 'Even now, the question of women can be raised,' says Pandey, 'the challenge is how to feminize Nepal's politics.'

She said that it is necessary for all political parties to work on this issue as a common issue. Similarly, she said that she has achieved success in the work done by making common issues more than political parties. 

Congress leader Kiran Yadav said that even women who continue to fight for women's rights have suffered violence. "Women involved in politics are suffering from various types of abuse and violence," she said. She told that even though she has reached today's situation by fighting for women's rights and politics, she is elected. 

'It is politically challenging for women to work,' she added, 'Parties don't give tickets to capable women because they won't win directly in the election. She says, 'Therefore, there is a need for equitable, self-respecting and strong development.'
