2 minutes read Kathmandu, Feb 11 (efe-epa).- Dozens of protesters held a sit-in outside the immigration office in Kathmandu on Thursday against a new proposed rule that requires women less than 40 to produce a family consent and official permission for traveling abroad. The department had recently forwarded the proposed amendment to the home ministry, seeking changes in the existing visit visa provisions. The department justified the move to curb the growing incidents of human trafficking, exploitation, and its inability to rescue women if they land in any problem. Under the proposed amendment, women under the age of 40 traveling abroad alone have to get an approval letter from their local ward office and a consent letter from their families.
