In celebration of Women’s History Month, the U.S. Embassy in Nepal organized a special outreach event focused on ‘Women in Science & Technology’. The event witnessed a remarkable turnout with over 200 participants from various sectors including computer science, engineering, and more.

Highlighted in the event were inspiring stories and experiences shared by two distinguished representatives from the U.S. Embassy: Jeeta Gurung, an accomplished architect, and Urika Shakya, a seasoned IT expert. Their narratives resonated with the audience, offering valuable insights into their respective fields.

The initiative underscores the Embassy’s commitment to fostering diversity within the Nepali workforce. Through such outreach programs held across Nepal, the Embassy aims to cultivate a professional landscape that authentically mirrors the rich diversity of Nepali society.

These efforts not only celebrate the contributions of women in STEM fields but also serve as catalysts for empowering future generations of Nepali women to pursue careers in science and technology.

The event exemplifies a collaborative endeavor towards a more inclusive and equitable workforce, reflecting the shared values and aspirations of the United States and Nepal.
