The Second National Women Social Forum has demanded timely promulgation of the constitution to ensure a women-friendly republic.
Issuing a 27-point Kathmandu Declaration in the capital on Thursday, the Forum demanded proportional representation of women in all bodies of the government, guarantee of women's reproductive health, land, housing and other rights to be guaranteed as the fundamental rights.
Chairwoman of Women Rehabilitation Center (WOREC) Dr Renu Rajbhandari stressed on formulating a strong law by the government to end violence against women, and evil practices such as victimizing women on charge of practising witchcraft, the dowry system, among others.
Over 30 different social organizations issued the Declaration Paper.
