Thanks to Political Literacy for Women & 🙏 𑐳𑐸𑐣𑐶𑐟𑐵 𑐜𑑄𑐐𑑀𑐮 Sunita Dangol , Saugat Gautam, Manushi Yami Bhattarai, Sunita Marick, Manasbi Paudel, Yajaswi Rai & organiser Samana Lawati for delivering the Intersectional Insight: Connecting Young Women, Politics, & Indigenous Advocacy workshop, with 🇦🇺support.

Long-term peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians requires a two-state solution - Palestinian statehood with normalisation of relations between Israel and the region.

It requires recognition of each other’s right to exist. By definition that means no role for Hamas.

As Biska, a jatra uniquely celebrated in Bhaktapur for 8 nights and 9 days, begins, I wish those celebrating a Happy Biska. And to all Nepalis a happy & prosperous New Year 2081.

🙏 to 𑐳𑐸𑐣𑐶𑐟𑐵 𑐜𑑄𑐐𑑀𑐮 Sunita Dangol for wonderful gift of the quintessential Newari dress. Biska ya bhintuna!
