KATHMANDU, JUNE 24Although the leading leaders of the Socialist Front comprising the CPN-MC, CPN- United States, Janata Samajwadi Party-Nepal and Communist Celebration of Nepal said this front would be various from previous alliances as they had developed ideological congruence on many issues, political experts believe the front is for bargaining on the basis of political power in the Parliament.
EDITORIAL: Socialist Front
Leaders justify development of Socialist Front
The three celebrations of the front - CPN-MC, CPN (US) and JSP-N have a combined strength of 54 seats in your home of Representatives.Political analyst Jay Nishant says no matter what the constituents of the front state publicly, they are guided by simply one intention - to boost bargaining power to keep the current coalition or to form another federal government if the scenario arises. According to Nishant, it is not difficult to gauge the motives of the constituent parties in forming the socialist front. Some CPN- UML leaders' threat to fall the government may have prompted these celebrations to form the front.
CPN- United States Chair Madhav Kumar Nepal's remarks yesterday that CPN-UML Chair KP Sharma Oli was trying to topple the government by providing the post of prime minister to NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba, whom he called a capitalist leader who is not, or only half committed to socialism shows the front's political worries.While it may not be simple for the Nepali Congress to fall for the UML allurement and leave the existing union to form a new federal government with UML support at least at this stage, the saying that absolutely nothing is impossible in politics appears to have motivated the 4 parties to announce development of the front.Nishant states the formation of the front is reflective of survival strategy as the three parties - the CPN-MC, CPN-US and JSPN - have lost substantial vote share in the parliamentary election. Had there been ideological congruence, CPN-US leader Rajendra Pandey would not openly challenge the monetary allowance, Nishant stated. Ideological similarity is a popular phrase everybody uses but nobody is devoted to.Prof Lokraj Baral said if the front leaders were committed to socialism, they would not leave former prime minister Baburam Bhattarai, who mooted the Idea of the front and who said there was no need to have the communist tag any longer. Prof Baral said communist leaders were understood for splitting or combining their attire. Communist leaders are individual-centric and they can leave or sign up with any alliance, he stated and added that the communists had actually split lots of times considering that the creation of the communist celebration. As far as the development of the front and alliance is concerned, parties' performance history are bad. In the past, celebrations quickly quit one alliance and joined another. JSP-N had left the NC led alliance a few days prior to the parliamentary surveys to join hands with the UML. During the constitution making process, CPN-MC left the alliance formed with Madhesi and janajati forces and joined hands with the NC and the UML. We won't be amazed if JSP-N or any other constituent of the front leaves the alliance, Nishant said.He stated Yadav's decision to sign up with the front was guided by two elements - he faces crisis of presence in Madhes, the celebration's political bastion. He lost parliamentary election to Janamat Party Chair CK Raut with a substantial margin and his celebration also lost its vote share this time. It is yet be seen the length of time the constituents of the front are able to remain together.A version of this article appears in the print on June 25, 2023, of The Himalayan Times.

Area 219 of the National Penal (Code) Act limits rape to an act enforced by 'guys' on 'ladies' or 'women,' specifying guys as wrongdoers and 'women' and 'ladies' as victims. The act should consist of the terms that are inclusive of all SOGIESC.Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ+) still struggle to access legal security, legal gender acknowledgment and marital relationship equality together with battling numerous preconceptions and forms of violence. The national study by UN WOMEN revealed that 4 in five respondents from LGBTIQ+ communities had experienced a minimum of one type of violence in their lifetime. The survey has actually also argued that there is a pervasive pattern of violence among LGB- TIQ+ people in Nepal.
The study included various kinds of violence, consisting of physical, emotional, sexual and financial violence. The outcome of the study has actually indicated that a significant majority of the LGBTIQ+ participants (81 per cent) reported being a victim-survivor of a minimum of one circumstances of violence based on s throughout their lifetime.

The Constitution of Nepal promulgated in 2015 identifies the rights of LGBTIQ+ individuals and explicitly forbids discrimination on premises of sexual preference and gender identity. It also guarantees the right to privacy, liberty of expression and the right to cope with dignity - all of which are important for the protection of LGB- TIQ+ rights. Despite these legislation defenses, LG- BTIQ+ people in Nepal continue to deal with substantial barriers to experience these rights in practice.

We are denied of exercising our fundamental flexibilities enshrined in the constitution due to discriminatory laws and poor implementation by the authority, stated Manisha Dhakal, executive director of Blue Diamond Society. Rape law and other kinds of sexual violence against LGBTIQ+ people should be criminalised. The right to marriage, right to obtain citizenship with identity, and effective and suitable authorities reaction to violence against LGBTIQ+ people must be ensured, Dhakal said.
