NEPAL

Although Nepal's economic growth has rebounded since the Covid-19 crisis, inflation is still very high, penalizing many families. 20% of the population will still be living below the poverty line in 2023 (National Statistics Office - Nepal).
Agriculture, tourism and remittances remain the main economic sources for the country, which is landlocked between China and India.
A situation that further weakens the most vulnerable. In this country of over 60 ethnic groups and 120 languages, where caste is illegal but unequal practices are still present, and where patriarchal mores are entrenched, discrimination against the poorest and women is taking its toll. The country ranks 126th out of 170 countries in terms of gender inequality (UNDP 2022).
