Anita Bhetwal reports for Nepali Times on how women artists paint Kathmandu red with vibrant murals as expressions of collective identity and solidarity.
'Murals are nothing new in Nepal. Refugee monks fleeing persecution in the Pala Empire in the 11th century brought the traditional Buddhist art form to Kathmandu. The technique peaked during the Malla period, considered the ‘golden age’ of Nepali art.
But compared to woodcarving, sculpture, and traditional architecture, the contribution of mural art in preserving local history and tradition has been overlooked. Murals are not just a creative outlet, but a documentation of our past and present, and how we want our future to be.'

के सामाजिक सुरक्षा औपचारिक रोजगारी भएका श्रमिकका लागि मात्र हो?
होइन।
नेपालको संविधानले योगदानमा आधारित सामाजिक सुरक्षालाई सबै श्रमिकको मौलिक हक मानेको छ, अनौपचारिक क्षेत्रका श्रमिक र स्वरोजगार व्यक्तिहरुसमेत। सामाजिक सुरक्षा कोषले स्वास्थ्य, दुर्घटना, परिवार सुरक्षा र वृद्धावस्थाको सुनिश्चितता गर्दै श्रमिक र उनका परिवारलाई सुरक्षित भविष्यतर्फ डोर्याउँछ।
Do you think pensions, insurance, and social protection are only meant for people with permanent jobs?
Think again.
Under Article 34 of the Constitution of Nepal, contribution-based social security is a fundamental right of every worker, including those working in the informal sector and those who are self-employed. With the implementation of the Contribution-Based Social Security Act, 2074, this right is no longer limited to the formal workforce.
Today, the Social Security Fund (SSF) covers:
• Formal sector workers
• Informal sector workers
• Self-employed individuals
• Migrant workers
From healthcare and maternity protection, to accident coverage, family security, and old-age pensions, SSF is designed to ensure income continuity, dignity, and protection throughout life and beyond.
Social security is not a privilege.
It is a right.
And it is for everyone.
सामाजिक सुरक्षा कुनै सुविधा होइन, यो अधिकार हो।
आफू र आफ्नो परिवारको सुरक्षित भविष्यका लागि सामाजिक सुरक्षा कार्यक्रममा आवद्ध हुनुहोस्।
Through the national campaign led by Social Security Fund सामाजिक सुरक्षा कोष in collaboration with the International Labour Organization - ILO Nepal, Digital Broadcast Initiative Equal Access DBI EA is supporting awareness, community engagement, and media outreach to strengthen local efforts and promote social security enrolment at the grassroots level.
