Faced with a people's movement against the absolute monarchy, King Birendra, in 1990, agreed to large-scale political reforms by creating a parliamentary monarchy with the king as the head of state and a prime minister as the head of the government.
Nepalese from various walks of life and the international community regarded the MOU as an appropriate political response to the crisis that was developing in Nepal.
In the backdrop of the historical sufferings of the Nepalesepeople and the enormous human cost of the last ten years of violent conflict, the MOU, which proposes a peaceful transition through an elected constituent assembly, created an acceptable formula for a united movement for democracy.
Nepalese women generally prefer collaboration and consensus but poverty, lack of employment opportunities, lack of consciousness, social discrimination, and lack of political commitment for seeking problem solution are the root causes for the continuation and increment of conflicts.
Nepalese women know how their sons and husbands are taken as combatants, many do not return, leaving women to care for the remaining children and elderly populations.
Nepalese women cannot remember villages burned, the children made fatherless and motherless, the villagers forced from their homes, the millions of rupees squandered by weapons and destruction.
