We express our serious concern over the proposed merger of the Ministry of Women, Children and Senior Citizens with other ministries. This is not just an administrative decision—it directly impacts social justice, inclusion, and the protection of millions of women, children, and senior citizens across Nepal. Organisations working on the frontlines, including e Beyond Beijing Committee (BBC) Nepal and AATWIN, have strongly opposed this move, highlighting the risk it poses to the rights, identity, and protection systems of vulnerable groups. As highlighted in the 2021 Census, women make up 51.5% of the population, children 33.8%, and senior citizens 10.2%. Weakening a dedicated ministry that serves such a large population raises serious concerns about accountability and effectiveness. We support efforts to improve efficiency—but not at the cost of equality, dignity, and protection. Development must be measured by how well it safeguards those most at risk. We urge policymakers and leaders to reconsider this decision and prioritize strengthening, not merging, this vital ministry. of Women Ministry of Women, Children and Senior Citizen - Nepal
