Unity for Change

महिला, बालबालिका, लैङ्गिक तथा यौनिक अल्पसंख्यक र सामाजिक सुरक्षा मन्त्रालयद्वारा IDAHOBIT 2026 का अवसरमा इतिहासमा पहिलो पटक जारी गरिएको विज्ञप्तिलाई हामी स्वागत गर्दछौं। लैङ्गिक तथा यौनिक अल्पसंख्यक समुदायविरुद्ध हुने घृणा, हिंसा र विभेद अन्त्यका लागि नेपाल सरकारद्वारा व्यक्त प्रतिबद्धता समावेशी, समानतामूलक र न्यायपूर्ण समाज निर्माणतर्फको महत्वपूर्ण कदम हो। संविधानले सुनिश्चित गरेको समानता, मर्यादा र मानवअधिकार व्यवहारमा पूर्ण रूपमा कार्यान्वयन होस् भन्ने हाम्रो अपेक्षा छ। सम्मान, सुरक्षा र समान पहुँच सबैका लागि सुनिश्चित गर्न राज्य, नागरिक समाज र समुदायबीच अझ बलियो सहकार्य आवश्यक छ। 🌈 We welcome the statement issued for the first time in history by the Ministry of Women, Children, Gender and Sexual Minorities, and Social Security on the occasion of IDAHOBIT 2026. The commitment expressed by the Government of Nepal to end hate, violence, and discrimination against gender and sexual minorities is an important step toward building an inclusive, equitable, and just society. We hope that the equality, dignity, and human rights guaranteed by the Constitution will be fully implemented in practice. Stronger collaboration among the state, civil society, and communities is essential to ensure respect, safety, and equal access for all. #IDAHOBIT2026 #EqualityForAll #LGBTIQRights #HumanRights #Nepal

Today on the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, we reaffirm our commitment to stand united against discrimination, violence, exclusion, and inequality faced by the LBT community. This day is observed every year on May 17 in remembrance of the historic decision made by the World Health Organization in 1990 to remove homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses. Since then, May 17 has become a global symbol of the movement against discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. Today is not only a celebration, but also a reminder that everyone has the right to live safely, freely, and with dignity in their own identity. Therefore, let us raise our voices against hatred, discrimination, and violence toward the LGBTQIA+ community and observe this day with solidarity and pride. आज International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia को अवसरमा, हामी LBT समुदाय माथि हुने विभेद, हिंसा, बहिष्कार र असमानताको विरुद्धमा एकजुट भएर आवाज उठाउने प्रतिबद्धता व्यक्त गर्दछौं। यो दिवस सन् १९९० मा World Health Organization ले समलैंगिकतालाई मानसिक रोगको सूचीबाट हटाएको ऐतिहासिक निर्णयको सम्झनामा प्रत्येक वर्ष मे १७ मा मनाइन्छ। त्यसयता, मे १७ यौनिक अभिमुखीकरण, लैंगिक पहिचान तथा लैंगिक अभिव्यक्तिका आधारमा हुने विभेद विरुद्धको विश्वव्यापी आन्दोलनको प्रतीक बनेको छ। आजको दिन केवल उत्सवको अवसर मात्र होइन, प्रत्येक व्यक्तिले आफ्नो पहिचानसहित सुरक्षित, सम्मानित र स्वतन्त्र रूपमा बाँच्न पाउने अधिकारको स्मरण गराउने दिन पनि हो। त्यसैले, LGBTQIA+ समुदायमाथि हुने घृणा, विभेद र हिंसाको विरुद्धमा आवाज उठाउँदै ऐक्यबद्धता र गर्वका साथ यो दिवस मनाऔं। #idahobit #lgbtqiaplus #equality #humanrights #lovei̇slove

UFC conducted a documentary screening and dialogue in Koshi Province (Itahari) with 22 LBT+ participants, creating an exclusive space to discuss menstruation within the community, particularly among trans men and LBT individuals. 🌈🩸 What stood out most was that many participants shared they were learning and openly discussing this issue for the very first time. The dialogue became a powerful space for reflection, learning, and sharing lived experiences that are often overlooked in mainstream menstrual conversations. We were also joined by 3 journalists, who expressed that the session was deeply insightful for them and committed to continuing to write and raise awareness on these issues moving forward. Conversations like these remind us why inclusive menstrual health discussions matter. ✨ #lbtmenstruation #menstrualjustice #lbtrights

नेपाल सरकारद्वारा मन्त्रालय पुनर्संरचना गर्दै “महिला, बालबालिका, लैङ्गिक तथा यौनिक अल्पसंख्यक र सामाजिक सुरक्षा मन्त्रालय” स्थापना गर्ने निर्णयलाई Unity for Change हार्दिक स्वागत गर्दछ। मन्त्रालयको नाम तथा कार्यक्षेत्रमै लैङ्गिक तथा यौनिक अल्पसंख्यक समुदायलाई स्पष्ट रूपमा समेटिनु राज्य संरचनाभित्र लामो समयदेखि प्रतिनिधित्व र पहिचानका लागि भइरहेका आवाजहरूको महत्वपूर्ण तथा ऐतिहासिक सम्बोधन हो। यस निर्णयले नेपालको संविधानले सुनिश्चित गरेको समानता, मर्यादा, समावेशिता र सामाजिक न्यायप्रतिको प्रतिबद्धतालाई थप मजबुत बनाएको छ। साथै, यसले लैङ्गिक तथा यौनिक अल्पसंख्यक समुदायका अनुभव, अस्तित्व र अधिकारलाई राज्यले औपचारिक रूपमा स्वीकार गरेको सन्देश पनि दिएको छ। Unity for Change यस निर्णयलाई समावेशी, न्यायपूर्ण र अधिकारमुखी समाज निर्माणतर्फको सकारात्मक कदमका रूपमा लिन्छ। साथै, यस ऐतिहासिक निर्णयका लागि नेपाल सरकारप्रति हार्दिक आभार व्यक्त गर्दै यसको प्रभावकारी कार्यान्वयनमार्फत समुदायमा वास्तविक परिवर्तन आउने अपेक्षा गर्दछ। Unity for Change warmly welcomes the Government of Nepal’s decision to establish the “Ministry of Women, Children, Gender and Sexual Minorities, and Social Security” through the recent restructuring of ministries. The explicit inclusion of gender and sexual minorities within the ministry’s name and mandate marks a significant and historic recognition of communities that have long advocated for visibility, dignity, and representation within state structures. This decision further strengthens Nepal’s commitment to the constitutional values of equality, inclusion, dignity, and social justice. It also sends an important message that the identities, experiences, and rights of gender and sexual minority communities are being formally acknowledged within national governance frameworks. Unity for Change views this decision as a positive step toward building a more inclusive, equitable, and rights-based society. We express our sincere appreciation to the Government of Nepal for this historic initiative and hope it will lead to meaningful implementation and lasting change for the communities concerned. #lbtrights #genderjustice #nepal

संघीय संसदको दुवै सदनको संयुक्त बैठकलाई सम्माननीय राष्ट्रपति श्री रामचन्द्र पौडेलद्वारा गरिएको सम्बोधनमार्फत यौनिक तथा लैङ्गिक अल्पसंख्यक समुदायको अधिकार, समावेशिता र सशक्तीकरणप्रति नेपाल सरकारले व्यक्त गरेको प्रतिबद्धताको हामी हार्दिक हामी स्वागत गर्दछौं नेपालमा समानता र मानव अधिकारको सुनिश्चितताका लागि यस्ता विषयहरू राज्यको प्राथमिकतामा पर्नु महत्वपूर्ण छ। अब यो प्रतिबद्धता केवल सम्बोधनमा सीमित नभई नीति, कार्यान्वयन र समुदायले प्रत्यक्ष अनुभूति गर्ने परिवर्तनमा रूपान्तरण हुन आवश्यक छ। We sincerely welcome the Government of Nepal’s reaffirmation of its commitment towards the rights, inclusion, and empowerment of gender and sexual minorities through the address delivered by the Rt. Hon. President Ramchandra Paudel to the joint session of the Federal Parliament. For equality and human rights to truly advance in Nepal, such commitments must move beyond speeches and translate into policies, implementation, and tangible change experienced by the community. #lbtrights #genderjustice #nepallbtrights

Lesbian Visibility Day is celebrated to recognize, uplift, and make lesbian identities more visible in society. It’s about being seen, heard, and respected while promoting healthy lives, dignity, love, respect, and equality. Every identity is valid, and every love deserves space. Today, we celebrate courage, resilience, and the power of living authentically. 🌈 #lesbianvisibilityday #loveislove🌈 #dignity #eqality #inclusive

As a bisexual woman, it is quite difficult for me to openly talk about my sexuality in society. This is mainly because there are still very few people who truly understand this topic. In many situations, people tend to misunderstand or even make fun of it, which makes me feel uncomfortable and hesitant to express myself. Because of this, I am not very open about my sexuality, but internally, I continue to accept and respect my identity while moving forward in my own way. - Laphuti Sherpa ( Bisexual women ) #lbtvoices #lbtleadership #inclusivecare #lbtyouth #unityforchange
