Parbati BK of Bhur, Bheri Municipality-10, witnessed various discriminations in society from a young age. Which inspired her to fight against discrimination.
She became the unit committee chair of Akhil Krantikari in 2056 BS while studying in the 4th grade and went underground 2 years later in 2058 BS. Now her journey has reached the parliament as a member of the House of Representatives.
After the peace process, she became the coordinator of the Inter-Party Women's Network and a member of the local peace committee. In the meantime, she became active in campaigns against various discriminations, including caste and gender, for a long time. The Nepali Communist Party (NCP) made her a member of the House of Representatives from the proportional representation system.
On 10 Jestha 2077 BS, 6 people, including Nawaraj BK, were murdered in Chaurjahari-8 Soti, Rukum West. She led the work from the beginning in the incident, from rescuing the injured to the last rites of the deceased, providing justice to the victims and pressuring those involved in the incident to face legal action.
‘The roots of discrimination are everywhere, there is a compulsion to take to the streets to achieve constitutional rights in a rule of law,’ she says, ‘Even if the state can end all kinds of discrimination in 2 days, we have laws, the main challenge now is their effective implementation.’ 
She is a central member of the NCP and was the Karnali Province President of the All Nepal Women’s Union Revolutionary for 2 years. Born into an ordinary farmer’s family, she is preparing for her PhD studies.
Having completed her master’s degree in international relations and diplomacy from Madhya Paschim University, she has experience in leading various campaigns on various discriminations in society and has also studied them in depth. During the armed conflict, she was active in the Dalit Liberation Front and the Anem Sangh, and after the establishment of peace, she became active in providing justice and relief to the families of the conflict-affected, injured and deceased as a member of the local peace committee for a long time.
She has a house that was damaged by the earthquake in Chunpolne, Bhur, near the Jajarkot district headquarters. She lost her mother a year ago and has been living in the same earthquake-damaged house with her father and brother's family.
The family's main occupation is traditional agriculture. 'Growing up in a normal family, I am aware of all kinds of problems of the citizens here. The prosperity of Karnali will be my main agenda in parliament,' she said. 'I will have a role in making and implementing laws to improve the living standards of citizens, end all kinds of discrimination and facilitate the flow of public services.'
BK was also on the proportional list in the last House of Representatives election. However, she could not become an MP. She was elected as a member of the Bheri Municipal Executive Committee in 2074 BS. At that time, the municipality had launched a discrimination reduction campaign under her leadership.
In the then Maoist Center's eighth national convention, she was the only woman under the age of 40 to become a central member. Since then, she has been known as a leader who stands up for victims in all kinds of violence and discrimination incidents in the district. 'Raising her voice in favor of victims, taking the initiative to provide justice to victims, and supporting them in the legal process have made her active for a long time,' she says.
