The 31st National Conference of Legal Professional Women was concluded on Sunday by issuing the 31-point Wirangar Declaration, including equality, inclusiveness and access to justice for women.
It is stated in the manifesto that proportional representation should be ensured in the appointment of women judges in the Supreme Court and High Courts, and special rights should be created to establish at least one woman in the legal profession in Nepal.
In order to effectively hear cases related to women and children, the manifesto has also demanded that all district courts should be reformed in the mandatory formation of family courts and children's courts.
Similarly, considering the negative effects and biological violence on women due to climate change and natural disasters, the National Conference was concluded by issuing a 31-point manifesto including the need to conduct awareness programs through the Bar Association.
A team of 9-member advocates led by senior advocate Kavita Basnet prepared the declaration. More than a thousand legal practitioners from all over the country participated in the two-day national conference.
