Goal 3 / Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women
Targets possible to achieve if changes are made
Girls' enrolment is approaching the same levels as the rates for boys - 95 girls for every 100 boys now enroll in primary school. This year an effective quota-system brought in over 33 percent of women in the Constituent Assembly. However, women's low status in the control of resources and political decision making remains, as does high incidence of violence against women (including early marriage and sex selective abortions). Serious measures should be taken to ensure the implementation of Nepal's international commitments for women's empowerment and gender equality. Key commitments include the CEDAW, and the UN Security Council resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security.
