February 17, 2021 Advertisement The Nepali Department of Immigration caused a major uproar when it proposed a legal amendment this month requiring women under the age of 40 to seek approval from their families and local wards to travel to other countries with a visit visa. The proposed amendment is in clear contradiction with articles 13 and 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, of which Nepal is a signatory, that guarantee the rights of freedom of movement and asylum. Speaking with The Record, Ramesh Kumar KC, director-general of the Department of Immigration, stated that the proposal aims to prevent human trafficking while also making it easier for government authorities to help women when they are in trouble abroad. He added, “Many women have been stranded in foreign lands. Many women don’t even know the name of the country they are going to.”
