Grand Show "NARI a girl" 18:30 - (doors open 18:00) at Millennium Hall
Nepal Week 2016 takes you on a journey of love, struggle, and survival of a girl. It will take you through her journey of finding her dream lover; her ultimate happiness. However, as fairytales only exist in stories, be ready to encounter the tragedy and her unfortunate faith. The smile on her face is replaced by the tears in her eyes. Being a girl is not always a blessing in every society, and Nepal Week is here to show you the hidden realities and the taboos that prevent some girls from achieving happiness. We believe that it is time we share what we know, and take action.
