Gender and sexual minorities Ground reality is darker than we have ever seen in Nepal
LAXMI GAIRE
Kathmandu, probably the must busiest city of Nepal.A dream place for the maximum people having purposes of doing something or for those who are outlining their life to accomplish their flaws worldwide & I am one of them. I was dreaming all of the positive vibes for that place,Full of knowledge based recreation inside my mind, pausing to analyze those eyes,who are hungering to achieve something with full of vision inside my dull fantasy & in search of sparkle i finally reached my destination.
The place of my dream – Kathmandu. I entered there carry all my image which seems to be shattered with in a second when i saw that pollution,that uncontrollable plastic, those dirty street,those unberable crowd,those selfish eyes, that careless attitude.All these activities captured my though with in a minute when i visualized that place. I was amazed seeing the nature of human particularly in that region where all educator from Nepal are settle. I assured my self by saying´´There are more Reasonable thing to glimpse, these are merely minor issues,don’t judge a place on small criteria“ hence i moved towards my hostel.
Days are passing, I was studying with my flows recalling my expectation & visualing reality. I was in my imagination,questioning on my abilites,Tired of my expectation,Scarce of my future,Evaluating this selfish world.I was in search of peace,a search for real humanity which i might not be able to see further.
Here,you can find many faces with different experience & appearance, I also get opportunities to feel the emotions in the corners & courider of the city.One day i was suppose to go out my friends just to get freshenup & comprehend more about this place & people living here.
We were on the way,we were wandering & nearby we saw some people gathering for something.Then we felt something unusual is happening there. We headed towards gathering & found degradable conditions of LGBTQ community. It was hurt rendering moment for me to watch such conditions,where they where struggling to live their each second of life.
I was questioned myself,why ? Don’t they have sexual identity ? Are they genderless ? Why these so called normal people treating them brutually.Why these society behaving differently ? for every LGBTQ people,realizing their sexual orientation & sharing that information with family & friends series of year,though after sharing they just get sympathy,empathy & even touture from people.Kathmandu city is so called place for those illtreated LGBTQ individuals but i found them struggling near highway.I even realized their day blindness situation.Broadly saying,they expose themself at dusk only.They get frighten from these so called normal people.
I meet one member of LGBTQ community last day near baneswor. She with her low voice shared that she was sexually harrased last month.She explaining in detail sayed that she used to make her body a source of income. More pathetic point is that even police authority used to ignore them, when they seek for help.They are instead questioned & blamed as well.Though,Nepal government has made strong laws regarding LGBTQ community.Ground reality is darker,even pathetic.They continue to face harrashment,attacks & sometimes even culminating in murder, laws are bound in paper only. I was unable to see such situation in capital city of Nepal.LGBTQ rights & law are still not implement by government & society of nepal
I hope & pray for their equal right.Goverment should inforce strong law very soon strictly & we individual should away can society to behave them well.We all are good creation.We all are equal.
