Nepal country gender equality profile

The Nepal Country Gender Equality Profile (CGEP) is intended to serve as a resource to support UN Women, the Government of Nepal, international development partners and civil society in assessing the current situation regarding gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE). The Nepal CGEP was produced with the goal of developing a concise and comparative analysis of the main concerns bearing upon GEWE from an intersectional perspective, given Nepal’s rich mosaic of caste, class, ethnic, religious, regional, disability and sexual identities.

The CGEP describes and analyses the current situation in Nepali women’s lives along three key themes: women’s representation in the political arena, economic security and gender-based violence.
