Smash patriarchy. But how?

Political inequality in Nepal is reinforcing a deep-seated societal patriarchy, leading to the ongoing policing of women's clothing and personal autonomy. According to recent commentary from Kathmandu, the persistence of unequal political structures directly contributes to the entrenchment of patriarchal norms within the broader society.

Without significant reforms to address this political imbalance, the society risks sinking further into systemic inequality, perpetuating restrictions on women's lives and expression.
