About 1400 people, youth, men and women, took to the streets in Kathmandu and joined the Rural Women’s Network Nepal (RUWON Nepal) at a rally promoting equal access to education for all children, girls and boys.

The rally was jointly organized by RUWON, three private schools, one government school and two other local NGOs. 

Since 2010, RUWON Nepal is running the Mahila Jyoti Balyakip School for girls in Kathmandu. After the rally, the number of students has gone up from 43 to 107 female students.
