Joint Submission on Citizenship to the Human Rights Council at the 23rd Session of the Universal Periodic Review, Nepal

This report makes reference to the 4th and 5th periodic reports of the government of Nepal on CEDAW and
the Concluding Comments of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women. This
report acknowledges the measures that the Government of Nepal has taken to advance and improve the
status of women. It also acknowledges the efforts of the many non-governmental organizations working to
improve the lives and advance the status of women in Nepal. In many cases the NGOs have been partners
of government; in others they have been the conscience of government, making the government aware of
what still needs to be done to improve the status and lives of women. Where necessary NGOs have been
critics, in instances where government has failed to address women’s rights and advance their interests.
