Today is International Women’s Day 2007. The theme: “Ending Impunity for Violence Against Women and Girls.” Nepal is celebrating the day with various events. What a treat! Women can now join British Gurkha army. Freedom has arrived to Kumaris, too. Some of them have graduate degrees. But these anecdotal forward movements pale when compared to the fact that only 26 women have been able to enter parliament in the last 60 years. As for the Maoists’ rhetoric of equality, just ask Laxmi Sharma.
