Radha Paudel, Founder/President was also a speaker in the program. She highlighted the importance of protest in current political scenario. She  states that : The Prime Minister  Mr. Sushil Koirala was not sensitive  towards women's movement, we condemned his statement. He was saying, we need to put down the protest because we might lost the gain what we get. We have weaknesses within our movement, we have to unified and should organize unique and mega program. Women should speak or stake on other emerging national issues e.g federalism, Karnali's movement The NGO's nature won't work out for the revolution, we must cross the restricted areas and should be ready for the risk to bring change otherwise no one is listening . We have enough done non-violence protest already.
