Abstract:
IntroductionAlthough women’s health is prioritised in global research, few studies have identified structural barriers and strategies to promote female leadership and gender equality in the global health research workforce, especially in low-income and middle-income countries.MethodsWe conducted a mixed-methods study to evaluate gender equality in the mental health research workforce in Nepal. The scoping review assessed gender disparities in authorship of journal publications for Nepal mental health research, using databases (PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, NepJol, NepMed) for 5 years. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 22 Nepali researchers to identify structural barriers limiting women’s leadership.ResultsOf 337 articles identified, 61% were by Nepali first authors. Among Nepali first authors, 38.3% were women. Nepali women had half the odds of being first authors compared with men, when referenced against non-Nepali authors (OR 0.50, 95% CI 1.30 to 3.16). When limiting publications to those based on funded research, the odds were worse for first authorship among Nepali women (OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.19 to 0.71). The qualitative analysis supported the scoping review and identified a lack of gender-friendly organisational policies, difficulties in communication and mobility, and limited opportunities for networking as barriers to women’s leadership in global health research.ConclusionEfforts are needed for greater representation of Nepali women in global mental health research, which will require transformative organisational policies to foster female leadership. Those in leadership need to recognise gender inequalities and take necessary steps to address them. Funding agencies should prioritise supporting organisations with gender equality task forces, policies and indicators.

Abstract:
A key challenge still exists for emancipation of women in the tourism industry in Nepal. The research addresses how females in Nepal transform themselves through engagement with trekking in remote areas. The authors investigated a female only tourism enterprise to determine how women can encounter avenues to reliable income support. Interviewees were members of Empowering Women Nepal (EWN), a Nepali Non-Government Organisation (NGO), and their interviews were used as a case study regarding women’s training. Open ended questions focused on the background of women who are likely to engage with tourism, barriers preventing engagement in tourism, the positive and negative side to tourism, avenues of support, and specific outcomes to date. The research found that rural and remote Nepali women are being emancipated via engagement with tourism.

Abstract:
Prema Shah’s “A Husband” and Rokeya S. Hossain’s “Sultana’s Dream” present two complementary versions of women’s world: the real in Shah and the imagined in Hossain aspire to make the other complete. The worldview that each author projects in their texts reasserts the latent spirit of the other one. The embedded interconnectedness between the authors under discussion reveals their unique association and bond of women’s creative unity towards paving a road for the upliftment of women in general. The paper seeks to find out the historical forces leading to the formation of a certain type of bond between these two authors from different historical and socio-cultural realities. Shah locates a typical Nepali woman in the protagonist in the patriarchal order while Hossain pictures the contemporary Bengali Islamic society and reverses the role of men and women. Hossain’s ideal world and Shah’s real world form two complementary versions of each other: despite opposite in nature, each world completes the other. Sultana moves to the world of dream to seek a new order because Nirmala’s world exercises every form of tortures upon the women’s self. Shah exposes the social reality dictating upon the women’s self while Hossain’s protagonist escapes into the world of dream where women control the social reality effectively and successfully. Overall, Shah and Hossain complement each other’s world by presenting two alternative versions of the same reality, creating the feminist utopia.

Abstract:
Breast carcinoma is one of the most common and dreaded diseases of women, and in Nepal, it is second most common cancer. The situation is more alarming in the rural areas where the majority of women are illiterate and ignorant about the hazards of breast cancer. Different screening strategies such as rural cancer registries and camp approach for cancer detection have been found useful in minimizing the problem of breast cancer in the villages. Advanced presentation of breast cancer and the problem of late diagnosis is well documented in Nepal. Moreover, diagnostic workup, treatment and palliative services are inadequate in most parts of Nepal. A better understanding current situation of breast cancer can help government to formulate breast cancer prevention strategy in Nepal. In this review, authors present an overview of the burden of breast cancer, risk factors, screening, and cancer care among Nepalese women.

Abstract:
Participation is an important dimension of good governance. In Nepal, there seem positive changes in women's participation in School Management Committees (SMC), Parent Teachers Association (PTA), and school administration but the participation of women has become a far-reaching goalin public school governance. This article is about exploring how women's participation could contribute to promoting good governance practices in community schools. Authors have applied an interpretative inquiry and participation and feminist standpoint theories to make out the meaning in this study which was carried in two public schools in Lalitpur, Nepal. The finding reveals that his meaningful representation of women in school governance is likely to minimize the governance challenges such as absenteeism, low parents’ participation, poor resource mobilization, transparency, and accountability.These positive transformations contribute to the community development process. However, enabling environment for women is needed to ensure their meaningful representation in school governance structures. This study is beneficial to educationists, planners, and development workers in Nepal.

Abstract:
Myths evolve and transform into new narratives in contemporary times through cultural appropriation as societies treat myths as vantage points to examine and interpret contemporary reality. Creative authors appropriate myths into emerging contexts to pass commentary on the prevailing reality, to derive meaning out of incoherent conditions of the time, and to make emergent situations more intelligible to the world. Popular Bengali writer, Mahasweta Devi (1926-2016) has employed Draupadi from the Mahabharata as the voice of the revolting Santhals from Bengal in the 1970s. Her short fiction “Draupadi” (1978) tells the story of a Naxalite insurgent, who sets out to participate in the armed conflict against the state in order to end economic exploitation and caste-based discrimination in her society. Similarly, Nepali novelist Nayan Raj Pandey (1966-) appropriates the myth of Draupadi by turning her into a Badi woman, sexually serving at the precinct of her society in Nepalgunj in his novella Ular [Imbalance] (1996). Devi recontextualizes the mythical Draupadi as an agent who chooses to transform the core of her society, while Pandey’s Draupadi dreams of settling in society as a family woman with her lover, Prem Lalwa. By analyzing two works of fiction, this paper explores the political goal of appropriation of certain myths in modern South Asian literature by contextually reading the text in order to explore the political goal of recontextualizing the classical narrative in the modern world. Devi's Draupadi stands at the crossroads of Bengal's socio-cultural transition in the 1970s. The author treats Draupadi as a window to look into her society and critically remark on its course of action at present. Similarly, Pandey shows the impact of the restoration of democracy in 1990 in Nepal. Draupadi loses her purity and agency in the 1990s in Nepal by letting herself be pushed to the further margins of her society.

Abstract:
Bidirectional relationship between economic development and women's empowerment is one of the issues in this relationship. Economic growth and prosperity is necessary to improve gender inequality by reducing poverty. Another argument assumes that women could play a fundamental role in development. Thus, equality is valuable. Capacity of women is crucial for changing their live positively. This paper explores the scopes, and opportunities provided by the government policies for Nepalese women and analyzed the constraints in implementing the policies based on this authors' two previous studies -- Effectiveness of Gender Responsive Budgeting in Nepal, 2019; and Women's Contribution in Family Economy in Nepal, 2010. Although more than NRs 500 billion of budget is allocated in the programs directly benefitting women, results are not observed as expected. Sustainable economic development is possible only if the women are capable to utilize the resources; capable to control and reap the benefits of economic opportunities; and capable to make strategic decision for changing their lives positively, once they have access to the resources. Once women are capable, there would be no limitation to be involved in economics. Result Based Budgeting (RBB) systems has proven to be a compatible framework for the institutionalization of gender budgeting.

Abstract:
Background: Screening interventions for the early diagnosis of breast cancer are associated with better clinical outcomes. Developing nations such as Nepal reportedly have lesser frequency of female university graduates (UGs) and therefore public awareness and education remains central in the early diagnosis. The current meta-analysis was aimed to assess the knowledge about breast self-examination (BSE) among women of Nepal. Materials and Methods: We have conducted the literature search using electronic databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane library and Google scholar. The search terms utilized were “breast self-examination”; “knowledge”, “awareness”; and “attitude” in various combinations AND “Nepal” in the title or abstract. Additional searches were conducted with the help of cross references quoted in the selected studies and review articles. Data were retrieved using excel sheets which were pilot tested. Data were independently abstracted by the four authors using a standardized data collection form. Findings from the various studies were pooled together for the sake of analysis, if appropriate. Results: The search yielded 36 articles; 27 duplicates and review articles were excluded and a further 4 articles not relevant were excluded. Finally, 5 original studies met the inclusion criteria. Total pooled sample size for assessing knowledge was 1910. The overall pooled knowledge about breast self-examination was found to be 27% with a 95% CI [26-31]. Conclusion: The pooled estimates demonstrated that the overall knowledge of breast self-examination was inadequate among women in Nepal. Therefore, prompt capacity building measures are warranted to enhance the public awareness towards BSE.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Globally, diarrheal and respiratory infections are responsible for nearly one-quarter of deaths in children under 5 years old. Historically these diseases have been studied separately; recent evidence suggests that preceding diarrheal disease may be a risk factor for subsequent respiratory illness. We sought to identify whether diarrhea was associated with subsequent respiratory illness in adult women and infants in Nepal. Methods We used data from a community-based, prospective randomized trial of maternal influenza immunization of pregnant women and their infants conducted in rural Nepal from 2011 to 2014. Diarrhea episodes were defined as at least three self-reported watery bowel movements per day for one or more days. Respiratory illness episodes were defined as the presence of fever with an additional respiratory symptom. Diarrhea and respiratory illness episodes were identified through longitudinal household-based weekly symptom surveillance. A case-crossover design was used to determine whether risk of respiratory infection was increased in the 30 days following a diarrhea episode compared with the 30 days prior. Results Of 3,693 women in the study and their 3,646 infants, 525 (14.2%) women experienced one or more episodes of diarrhea during pregnancy, 226 (9.4%) women experienced one or more episodes of diarrhea after pregnancy, and 342 (9.4%) infants had one or more episodes of diarrhea. The incidence of respiratory episodes during the exposure and control periods was approximately 2–5% in adults and 8–10% in infants. Preceding diarrhea was not significantly associated with respiratory infection in adult women or infants. There was a slight trend toward greater incidence of diarrhea during the exposure period among infants (Figure 1), but it was not statistically significant. These results held after a sensitivity analysis limiting follow-up time to 15 days before and after diarrhea episode. Conclusion In this study of pregnant and postpartum women and their infants in Nepal, diarrheal illness was not a significant risk factor for subsequent respiratory illness.

Abstract:
Abstract Tellier et al. take stock of menstrual health management in humanitarian settings, seeking to shed light on the goals, key components, and coordination efforts to address menstruation needs under duress. The authors are volunteers or staff with WoMena, an NGO that works to improve menstrual health and management in Uganda. Based on this experience and focusing on Uganda and Nepal, this practice note probes how the issue is approached in different contexts and at different stages—comparing urgent response after a sudden onset disaster (for example, earthquakes) to protracted crises (for example, long-term refugee settings). The authors discuss how interventions can be made sustainable beyond the short-term ‘kit culture’ response; they highlight experiences with more developmental approaches involving policy support, community participation, capacity building, and the use of products that are economically and environmentally sustainable.

Abstract:
This chapter presents the author's reflections on how her commitment to community development principles has been applied to funding. She shares her experiences at Tewa, the Nepal Women's Fund, a feminist organisation she founded right after the UN World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, with the explicit aim of fostering local philanthropy as a means to empowering women. Over the past 21 years, Tewa has successfully raised 3.6 corer, equivalent to US$355,600, from approximately 5,000 Nepali donors and made 573 grants to over 454 community groups of women in 69 of the 75 districts of Nepal. Tewa has trained and mobilised over 680 fundraising volunteers. It has been a forerunner among the women's funds in the Global South, and a model for women's groups and others in Nepal.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter analyzes the appropriation of a Buddhist monastic space by girls and young women. The author’s case study is the Peace Grove Institute, a small residential Buddhist community of 21 girls between the ages of 7 and 31 located in Lumbini (Nepal), site of the Buddha’s birth. The Peace Grove Institute provides a quasi-monastic, socially safe space for girls which allows them to delay marriage and to continue education. Langenberg also highlights how this institute is an ongoing creation of the Peace Grove girls themselves. She explores the modality of female agency of the Peace Grove nuns within the disciplinary norms of female Buddhist monasticism, and within the educational and cultural environment of Peace Grove nunnery. Langenberg sees an otherwise less obvious dimension of Buddhist female agency at work, which she describes as aesthetic agency, detectable in the girls’ expressiveness, confidence, physical charisma, and mobility—a significant manifestation of and precondition for the exercise of female power in gender-conservative Lumbini.
