Chhaupadi: A Local Practice Reflecting Global Gender Inequities

Even now, in the shadow of Nepal’s mountains and across its southern plains, a quiet injustice plays out every month. Girls and women, for no fault of their own, are told to leave their homes not because they are sick, not because they are dangerous, but simply because they are menstruating. The practice is called Chhaupadi . And despite being banned, it hasn’t vanished. It’s not a story from the past; for many, it’s still painfully part of the present. Women are banished to sheds or cowsheds during their periods, left to brave cold nights, snake bites, hunger, and sometimes even death. Though criminalized under Nepalese law, the practice survives. And this isn’t just about being sent outside the house. It’s about something deeper, the belief that menstruation somehow taints a woman, making her presence unwelcome and her touch feared. The idea isn’t limited to remote corners of Nepal. All around the world, in different names and rituals, the same message echoes: that a girl’s biology i...

Image
  LEGISLATION AS A SOURCE OF LAW IN THE CONTEXT OF NEPAL Background The term ‘ Legislation ’ is derived from the Latin words ‘ Legis ’ a law and ‘ Latum ’  meaning ‘make’, ‘put’, and ‘set’. Thus etymologically, legislation means making or  setting the law. Broadly , this term is used in three senses:  Firstly , in its broadest sense, it includes all  methods of law-making. In this sense, legislation includes  judge-made rules of law, and  even the particular rules of law or the rights created at law between parties  to contract.  In the second sense, the legislation includes every expression of the will of the legislature,  whether directed to the making of law or not. In this sense, every act of the legislature is  an instance of legislation, irrespective of its purpose and effect. The legislature does not  confine its action to the making of law, yet all its functions are included within the term  ‘legislation’, for exa...

न्याय प्रणालीको विकासमा अदालतको मित्रको भूमिका

 न्याय प्रणालीको विकासमा अदालतको मित्रको भूमिका पृष्ठभूमी अदालत भनेको न्यायिक काम गर्नको लागि बनाइएको एउटा अड्डा हो । जसले जनताको संवैधानिक र   मौलिक हक अधिकारको संरक्षण गर्दछ । अदालतमा विचाराधिन विषय केवल पक्ष विपक्षका हित,  स्वार्थ रक्षा गर्ने विषयमा मात्र केन्द्रित हुँदैन । सो विषय समग्र समाजलाई नै असर गर्ने प्रवृत्तिको हुन  सक्छ। तर, समाजलाई कस्तो निर्णय पस्किने भन्ने कुरामा अदालतलाई दुविधा पर्न सक्छ। त्यस्तो  भएको खण्डमा अदालतले आफ्नो सहजताका लागि सम्बन्धित विषयमा विद्वता हासिल गरेका  विशेषज्ञ, कानुन व्यवसायी, सरकारी वकिल वा प्राध्यापकलाई आह्वान गर्न सक्दछ।  'एमिकस क्युरी' ल्याटिन शब्द हो जसको अर्थ विवादलाई मित्रवत र सही ढङ्गले सुल्झाउनु हुन्छ।   नेपालीमा एमिकस क्यूरीलाई अदालतको सहयोगी भनिन्छ। अदालतलाई कुनै जटिल कानुनी प्रश्नमा वा  सार्वजनिक सरोकारको विषयमा निर्णयमा पुग्नका लागि अदालतले सहयोग मागे बमोजिम उपस्थित  भई बहस पैरवी गर्ने व्यक्ति अदालतको सहयोगी हो। उनिहरुले कुनै पक्षका पक्षतर्फ सम्बद्ध नरही सही  न्याय निरूपणको निमित्त...

AMERICAN VALUES AND ASSUMPTIONS

AMERICAN VALUES AND ASSUMPTIONS -        Gary Althen In this chapter excerpt, Althen focuses on nine central values and assumptions shared by the majority of people living in the United States. He contrasts these cultural patterns with those of other nations and describes the types of problems and misunderstandings that can occur when people from different cultures, with diverse beliefs and perceptions, interact. First, he says what a culture is. People belonging to one culture have the same values and assumptions. They agree with each other about what is right and wrong what is desirable and what is undesirable. A culture is a collection of values and assumptions which help people how to react to the world. The first of the nine values is individualism. Individualism From a very early age, Americans have been taught to consider themselves as separate individuals responsible for luck and their situations in life. They have not been taught...
