In support of Amplify Change, Mitini Nepal held a discussion and interaction session on the rights and issues of the sexual and gender minority community with Honorable Members of the National Assembly and the House of Representatives at New Baneshwor Alpha House, Bagmati Province, Kathmandu. The program focused on sexual and reproductive health, as well as rights for those who identify as sexual or gender minorities. Many LGBTIQ community faces violence, stigma, exploitation, and discrimination as a result of differences in sexuality, and despite the fact that Articles 12, 18, and 42 of the Constitution guarantee the community’s rights, the community is denied access to those rights, and discriminatory laws and policies must be amended.
