Thank you Mr. President,
We join Feminist Dalit Organisation of Nepal (FEDO) to express disappointment in the new Constitution of Nepal which just came into force last Sunday. Dalit communities repeatedly demanded the Government and Constituent Assembly (CA) to include provisions to increase the political participation of Dalit people and protect and promote their rights. Regrettably, those demands are not incorporated. Consequently, the new Constitution can further marginalise Dalit people, especially children and women.
