KATHMANDU: Vice President Ramsahay Prasad Yadav has said public disenchantment reflected in the September 8-9 Gen Z protest makes it clear that human rights are yet to be guaranteed fully.

Giving a message of best wishes on the occasion of the Human Rights Day today, Vice President Yadav wished the Day inspired all sides to work in unison to ensure equality, justice, freedom of expression, thereby living dignified life.

Active participation and intervention the Gen Zers wanted has reminded urgency of opportunities, transparency and good governance, he said, adding, “Nepal’s federal democratic republic system is at work to enforce the social justice and human rights.”

Irrespective of the constitutional guarantees, still some sections and communities are waiting desperately for identities and socioeconomic developments, the Vice President argued.

He further said violation of human rights is not acceptable in a democratic system, so activities fueling discrimination, injustice and inequality must be curbed.

Concrete initiatives are needed to fully guarantee the rights of education, health and employments to the disabled persons, indigenous ones, Madhesi and Dalit people, the Vice President underscored.
