Women in arms


For the first time, the Royal Nepali Army has begun recruiting women for non-technical posts. It will recruit 100 women in the office of the military police, as office runners, computer operators, drivers and band musicians. Even if they are being recruited in these posts for now, they can be used in the fighting force in the future, a senior official at the army headquarters told us. The officer said females would not be sent to the frontlines right now because of the lack of appropriate infrastructure. Once they are ready, we will deploy them even in the field.
