It has been 115 years since the celebration of International Women's Day started around the world. In the meantime, through the struggle against discrimination, they have legally obtained the same rights, rights and freedom as men. However, women in some countries are still deprived of basic human rights and freedom.

In some societies, women do not fall into the category of 'humans', so what to talk about their human rights. Even in our society, the idea that women should be seen as human beings has not been developed. 

The United Nations has tried to guarantee every right of women by issuing various conventions and through various organizations. Efforts have been made to eliminate all discrimination against women. But the gender, social, economic, political, educational and cultural discrimination against women remains the same. 

Although the Constitution of Nepal provides for gender equality, it has not been implemented legally and practically. An example of this is citizenship in mother's name. In this regard, the government agencies of the state have ignored the orders given by the court time and again.

The amendment bill submitted in the House regarding the granting of citizenship in the name of the mother is getting stuck every time it is ignored. Even though they are the citizens of their descendants, mothers are unable to give citizenship to their children born to them under various circumstances, and they are forced to watch and cry as the children become non-citizens and are deprived of the rights and services provided by the state. To put an end to this situation, the Citizenship Amendment Bill, which is currently being submitted to the Parliament, needs to come as an Act as soon as possible. 

If the bill is approved, many children raised by single mothers will be freed from the pain and humiliation of being a non-citizen in their own country by obtaining citizenship under their mother's name. They will be able to enjoy all the services provided by the state.

Single mothers who have been suffering from the state's discriminatory constraints and society's many insults will get relief even though they are taking all the responsibilities alone and supporting their children. If mothers can write their names in the citizenship of their children, they will be able to achieve equal tribal rights, self-respect and coexistence. 

If a similar bill is passed and the red seal is applied, the children will get citizenship in the name of the mother. In some cases, fatherless and in some cases due to irresponsible fathers, not only the children brought up by single mothers, but also the children born by Nepali women who have returned from foreign employment or were conceived there will get the opportunity to become citizens of Nepal.

Similarly, if a child wants to keep his mother's name without mentioning his father's name in his citizenship, he will get that right. This will increase the pride or respect of the mother in the children and the self-esteem of the mothers will also increase. 

Despite this, the citizenship bill has not been freed from discrimination because the children of Nepali fathers and foreign mothers get the citizenship of descendants, while the children of Nepali mothers and foreign fathers have a system of naturalized citizenship.

The discrimination done by the state and society against women is no less than the discrimination done by the political party and its leadership. Women who advocate and question equal rights and freedom are ostracized within the party. As much as possible, women are not allowed to access power and power. Most of the women who have stepped into politics and reached the parliament under the guise of a party have only become 'loyal' of political parties. Those who don't try to be loyal and question things they don't understand and raise their voice for their rights are called 'don't joke'.

Not only this, the ability and intelligence of women who have reached many areas and agencies of the state on their own are doubted and devalued. They are prevented as much as possible from reaching high government positions because there is a prevailing mentality that women do not have the 'leadership ability'.

In the same way, even though the government agencies of the state should give the rights and facilities provided by the law to the single mother and the children raised by her, there is a practice of humiliating and depriving the single mother of the facilities by raising many questions. This can be considered a product of patriarchal social psychology rather than the fault of the state. Nepal's bureaucracy has not been freed from such psychology. Therefore, women's rights, equality and freedom are freedom from such discriminatory behavior and thinking. 

In addition to equal racial rights, even though equal employment and equal wages are called, women are paid less than men for the same work. This voice, which has been rising for years, has not been heard by those who take the leadership in the labor sector. Let's not talk about the value of the labor of women who work round the clock for twelve months, the family and the society cannot even show respect for that labor. If today's educated society and family members take care of this matter and adopt prudence, surely women will be able to live a dignified life.
