Women shall have the right to participate in all bodies of the State on the basis of proportional inclusion.

Women have equal rights in ALL areas - property inheritance, family decisions, workplace, politics. Reproductive rights (including access to safe abortion up to 12 weeks) are constitutionally protected. Women must be proportionally represented in all state bodies.

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

महिलाविरुद्ध कुनै भेदभाव नहुने। वंश, परिवार, सम्पत्तिमा समान हक। प्रजनन स्वास्थ्यको हक। सबै राज्य निकायमा समानुपातिक प्रतिनिधित्व।

Cultural norms still deny these rights in practice. Dowry, child marriage persist in many communities.
