Dignified access to ballot is a big topic during elections. As it stands, the marginalized population have shared that they feel voting is a privilage more than a right for the Nepali citizens.   Sarita Lamichhane, the under of Prayatna Nepal shares stories of challenges for the disabled community during the election - both in representation and participation. Although Election Commission Nepal has put resolutions in place to ensure everyone gets to vote equally, Sarita feels the country could do a lot more to ensure and increase higher participation during the elections. Just making the polling stations disabled friendly doesn't mean the people with disabilities can vote - there are many other circumstances that need to be realized to make elections truly equal.  Election series is a 5-episode podcast series on improving the election standards of Nepal via voter education, inclusiveness, equal rights, code of conduct, and tackling misinformation and hate speech.  _______________________________________________________  Find us on  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/accteapod Twitter: https://twitter.com/accteapod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/accteapod  _______________________________________________________  AccountabilitTEA podcast Nepal explores everything you need to know about governance by dissecting different issues we face in our society.

We have already started seeing a lot of progress when we speak about youths in elections, but there still lie a lot of challenges and growing areas.

The face of the election has changed a lot in the digital age. Political campaigns that used to be door-to-door are now being boosted on social media platforms, and the conversations that happened in tea shops happen on Twitter, Facebook, and WhatsApp groups.

Adding to how fast information flows online, this has created big problems during the elections, that maliciously influence the decisions of voters.   Listen to our discussion with advocate and founding member of Digital Rights Nepal, Santosh Sigdel on how misinformation affects elections in Nepal, and how it can be more controlled in the upcoming General Elections.

Life in Manaslu is shaped by the people's religious beliefs, the local governance systems, and the anticipation of a future tourism boom. Over the past two decades, life has been undergoing massive changes in the high Himalayan valleys of the Manaslu conservation area. Development in infrastructure and education has resulted in fast changes in the livelihood of the people. The widespread idea that Manaslu is going to become Nepal’s ‘next Annapurna’ also provides an imagined future that informs the present-day decision-making of the people there. Join us for an interactive conversation with Dr. Rune Bennike, a researcher who has been working in the Manaslu conservation area for over 7 years, learning about the people there, their cultures, their expectations, and how life has changed for them over time due a lot of overarching socio-economic transformations.

Have you ever had to explain what your sexual orientation is, or which gender you identify as? Can you imagine how frustrating it would be if people always misinterpreted your gender or treated you differently because of it? How many of us actually know what each letter in LGBTIQ means?  The challenges faced by gender and sexual minorities in Nepal stem from a lack of awareness of their identities. Gender and sexual rights movements have recently been rising in Nepal, with the pride month events being the epitome of people’s solidarity towards the issue of LGBTIQ+ communities. But, deeper challenges with people’s understanding of others’ identities, old policies that don’t cater to different genders, and the traditional social practices in Nepal that still don’t accept gender and sexual freedom still exist.  Listen to our conversation with Bhumika Shrestha, one of the pioneer LGBTIQ+ rights activists talk about the issues, challenges, and progress of equal rights for all genders in Nepal. _______________________________________________________ Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/accteapod Twitter: https://twitter.com/accteapod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/accteapod/ _______________________________________________________ AccountabilitTEA podcast Nepal explores everything you need to know about governance by dissecting different issues we face in our society.

Foreign Aid contributed to 23.3% of the national budget in 2020 and has remained similar since. But, can we identify how effective these foreign investments have been in Nepal?

"The environment that I grew up in isn't necessarily the same as it is now. So, when we speak of equality, we need to understand what equality means now, rather than what it meant for me when I was growing up."

We talk about Nepali cultures - wedding rituals, period rites, mandatory gender roles, paid vs household works, etc, and dissect how our society has continuously contributed towards inequality.
