The main objective of the workshop was to sensitize the youth of Dhangadhi about their roles, responsibilities towards the government.

He discussed the Fundamental Rights of the citizens. Also, the citizens of the nation need to cope with the government in order to make the government accountable. We cannot complain that the government is not accountable if we do not work in accordance with the law of the country.

Youth can play a coordinative role to ensure people’s participation and transparency in democratic society. Youth can play a leading role in the assurance of human right of all citizen and progress of an individual, society and whole nation. Since youth can easily adhere to different knowledge, skills, and concept, the government shall intake youth in the mainstream as a supporting element. Everyone’s voice and will is addressed dignifiedly only in a democratic environment.  To strength democracy into a more strong, beautiful and people-centric governance system, the youth shall be provided with inclusive opportunities and those opportunities shall be invested in democratization. If and only youth get the opportunity to lead and contribute on transparency, accountability and good governance of society, democracy in the real sense can be achieved.

” Nepal Social Forum 2018 ”
– Involvement of Women in Economic Activities

On the 3rd day of Social Forum 2018, AYON performed a puppet show in Balmiki Campus involving 30 participants from the diverse background.

The theme of the show mainly focused on women employment and empowerment and their contribution to the economic status of Nepal. The drama targeted a typical rural community where the misconception of women doing only household chores existed. The drama showed the image of a conservative society.

A quality interaction session was held with the participants where we received their opinion and feedback in the context of their societies.

The drama conveyed a message to the society that women can also contribute to the economic betterment of the nation and they should not be bounded by any norms of the society that discourage women to be independent.
