International Women’s Day

A woman is like a tea bag, you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water- Eleanor Roosevelt.

As I look back, 2014 marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life. Fresh from completing my Ph.D. and a postdoctoral in the Republic of Korea, IK returned to Nepal filled with hope and enthusiasm for the journey ahead. Little did I know that the next 11 years would be the most challenging yet transformative period of my life- both professionally and personally.

However, it was also the best learning period, it shaped me into the person I am today. Every women, whether mother, sister, or friend are equally important in life. Helping and empowering each other is the most beautiful feeling. It is often said behind every successful man there is supportive women and I must add that behind every successful women there is also a progressive man- a Father, brother or husband who stands by her, believes in her and champions her dreams.

Lets cherish the moment this International Women’s day 2025 and celebrate the strength of women, the power of unity and the importance of creating a world where everyone, regardless of gender can thrive. We need to support, empower and inspire one another, for together, we can achieve greatness.

Here’s to the women who rise, the men who stand beside them, and the collective journey toward equality and empowerment. Happy International Women’s Day.
