नेपालको अर्थतन्त्र वैदेशिक रोजगारीले भित्र्याउने रेमिटेन्सले धेरै हदसम्म धानेको छ। तर हरेक वर्ष लाखौ युवा, प्रायजसो २०-४० वर्षका पुरुषहरु, यसरी विदेश पलायन हुँदा यसले घर परिवार र समाजमा कस्ता दीर्घकालीन असरहरु परिरहेको छन्? यसपालिको एपिसोडमा हामीले यहि कुरा खोतल्ने सानो प्रयास गरेका छौं। आफ्नो परिवारका पुरूष सदस्यहरू विदेशमा रहेका महिलाहरूले कसरी आफ्नो घर र समुदायमा कसरी नेतृत्व लिइरहेका छन्? गाँउघर, खेतदेखि चौतारी सबैतिर महिलाहरूको उपस्थिति बढ्दा हाम्रो सामाजिक संरचनाहरूमा कस्तो परिवर्तन आएको छ त? यसबारे थप चर्चा पत्रकार माधुरी महतोसँग।

Journalist Madhuri Mahato spoke to women who have become the head of their family in the absence of their fathers, sons, and husbands. They are making their presence felt in public spaces and they are making decisions for their families and their communities.
