Adhering to the United Nation’s 2021 theme for International Women’s Day (IWD) ‘Women in Leadership: Achieving an Equal Future in a COVID-19 World”, this booklet features the experiences and perspectives of elected women representatives from Nepal (7 Deputy Mayors and 22 Ward Members) including their exemplary leadership responding to COVID-19 crisis management and recovery efforts. It also highlights the stories, achievements, and challenges while navigating their personal and political careers. The featured leaders in the booklet are part of the Australian Government’s ‘Sub National Governance Program (SNGP)’, and ‘She Leads’ Program – co-funded by the Swiss Government.
