Rudra Poudel, a student in Surkhet in the mid-western region of Nepal, says,“Before I joined the campaign, I was convinced that all the problems that needed redress lay in the larger society and that my family members and I were beyond reproach. As part of the campaign’s effort to help a girl in our neighbourhood continue with her studies, it dawned on me that my own sister lives in an environment that will not support her studying for much longer. When the truth hit me, I was stunned. I am making efforts to ensure that she can finish her studies uninterrupted.”
