Sajha Sawal is a weekly debate program broadcast across Nepal on radio and TV
Sajha Sawal is a weekly debate program broadcast across Nepal on radio and TV. The program is usually based on current affairs. Sajha Sawal is becoming popular among Nepali community.Stories about violence against women in Nepal are, sadly, not rare. Since my schooldays, I’ve heard of women beaten by in-laws or taking their own lives because they could no longer stand the abuse.But I also vividly recall other stories I heard as a girl. That of a young woman for example, who was asked for a motorbike as a dowry by her prospective husband and his family. Her response? She told him he should marry the motorbike instead and put the bridal garland of flowers on the bike and not her.This story has always inspired me to stand up for my rights and help other vulnerable people in society. So I’m thrilled to say that as the new presenter for BBC Media Action’s debate show in Nepal, Sajha Sawal (Common Questions), I’m doing exactly that.
