The 74th International Human Rights Day has been completed on December 10 with the main slogan of dignity and free justice for all in the joint project of Human Rights Network Nepalgunj and INSEC.
Dr. Ratna Bahadur Bagchand, the senior member of the High Court Tulsipur Nepalgunj bench, said that the meaning of human rights has not yet been understood and explained. He said that if human rights are raised on the basis of ethnicity, class, religion, gender, there will be problems in the future, so the definition of human rights should be removed from the definition of class, caste, women’s and men’s rights.
Bhola Mahat, coordinator of INSEC, highlighted the purpose of the program and said that although many issues have been improved in the field of human rights, initiatives are still needed in many issues.
Coordinator Mahat held the view that economic, social, cultural and political rights should be reviewed for reliability.
Prashant Bista, Mayor of Nepalgunj Sub-Metropolitan City, said that it is the responsibility of the state to protect and promote human rights and that politics is unable to cover the issue of human rights because it is run by state political representatives.
Acting District Administration Office Chief Harishchand Sharma said that human rights are a common issue and it is important to understand what rights and duties are.
Similarly, on the last day against gender violence, rallies were held at various places in the district along with lamp lighting.
