A Research paper, Determinants of women’s empowerment in Nepal, by Dr.Afshan Hashmi

This study seeks to identify key determinants of women empowerment in Nepal using a rich set of socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics as well as behavioral factors and regional indicators. Results showed that older age is generally associated with higher empowerment across all these domains, while partner controlling behavior tended to decrease empowerment in beliefs about violence and control over sexuality. Education level and wealth were correlated with increased empowerment in control over sexuality and safe sex, though not in the other two domains. Access to media showed mixed effects, reducing empowerment in decision-making but enhancing it in control over sexuality and safe sex. The results suggest that women’s empowerment has morphed from the purview of gender equality programs to its current state, where it is considered a broader goal for development.
Looking forward to hearing from you all soon

It's Meet and greet with doctor Afshan Hashmi right here on KURHD Radio and Talk for TV. And here's your host, international speaker, educator, award winning entrepreneur and best selling author, doctor Afshan Hashmi.

0:56 Hello everyone, this is your loving host and best selling author, radio and TV personality doctor Rafshan Hashmi live from her studio. In Rockville, Maryland. And I have a couple of studios where places I feel, but today I was shivering and there is a reason for that. What happened today, I will tell you. Sharia law is the interpretation of the Holy Quran, and every Muslim believes in. The Holy Quran. A prophet Muhammad piece be upon him. Is great, is great, I'm no lawyer, but it is common sense to think when in American quotes, if a divorce proceedings are going on, or any other proceedings are going on, it is interpreted with American law and keeping the religious sensitivities.

1:45 So what the Holy Koran says are also taken into consideration. So why this propaganda that Sharia law is getting followed in America? It is very popular for propaganda in media outlets and Muslims are seen as outcome community. Many Muslims, including me, feel about this after nine to eleven Muslim community live in in America has been nearly demolished. Being relative of Prophet Muhammed, peace be upon him, I feel very agitated by this propaganda. I believe in peace through strength. All Muslims are not terrorists. I support President Trump and President Biden a lot, as I have taught them Islamic teachings and respect them a lot. I want President Trump to appoint Muslim advocate in the Religious Liberties Group. I'm callit quite liberal and for me, the above interpretation is modern Islam Shariah Lah plus laws of the homeland. I always ask Rasure Lah this prayer that is Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon him and his besties since three years of age. I am shivering, so please evacuate all these illegal droning and illegal espionage. I thought there is illegal droning and illegal espionage. Again, that weird green and yellow bird came in my bedroom.

3:05 There is a whole there of ventilation and it comes there. As far as I know, the operation had blackbirds. Why these colorful birds are coming. Why don't they do this operation somewhere else and not here? It looks like it has pooja, sammer, green and optun. I am allergic to uptun, so please take it away and have a show to give. And haven't read the research paper? Yes, while I am reading the research paper, this all activity is going on from morning till afternoon. They should not throw these kinds of things in my bedroom with radioactivity. I am still shivering. And if allergic response happened, they should be charged with penalties.

3:47 Why don't they do on their bodies? This is terrorism at to speak in this century city which is Montgomery County. I do not want to hear any noise pollution. My bed got very heavy effects of someone moving in and out. I have experienced all this in these twenty years, refrain from coming here with these effects. I am a widow and throwing chaguna upton on a widow is a banter and a life threatening situation for me, and it interferes with my religious sensitivities. I report this to Commission on Religious Liberties formed by President Trump. And here it is the religious Someone set through radio signals that Mammy said it to put it in their house. And I don't know who said Mammy put there in their house.

4:37 No noise pollution. I'm getting convolated. Before this thing, I was illegally droned here in my heart and this activity has been going on for twenty years with me, and that has led to the death of my parents, my younger brother, my. Husband, and my and now they are after me. Who are these terrorists? I would like to know and before I dive into today's so it's a research paper on Nepal. So these are my first two books. The first one is the Modern mogal Mentality, New Strategies to Succeed in India and the global marketplace. The second one is The Outbreak of a Monstrous Infection. So this book, you know when it came in twenty fifteen hours. There was a lot of research going on on Jugar and this book came and it was Amazon bestseller, the Outbreak of a Monstrous Infection.

5:35 And I have and this was Amazon bestseller in India and USA. And this one was Amazon bestseller in USA and Modern Local Mentality was hot number one new release on Amazon in a USA. And I want a movie or a documentary to be made out of it. So all those documentary producers and all please contact me at Ashan at dr of shan Hashmim And this is the Outbreak of a Monstrous Infection and tail Flix has given me a very good evaluation. And I want a movie or a web series to be made. So all those copyright buyers you know, and all those in all those people you know who are literary agents and in Hollywood and Bollywood they take the movie, please contact me at a Chan at darra Chanhashi dot com. So now this is the Religious Liberty's Commission, you know. So this is what it is, the religious and I want to go in their proceedings as a Muslim advocate, you know, like I'm not a lawyer or anything, but some of the issues you know of Muslims, I know because I am direct descendant of profit and through that I'm related to profit. Muhammad, Peace be upon him. I know what the issues our community is facing, so I would love to be part of that Religious Liberties Commission. Having yet that, folks, now, let's see how was your Easter. I didn't do much

7:05 on Easter, but I would like to show you some photographs of the Easter. And there was a big event in White House. You know, I couldn't attend it, although I was not invited, so how can I attend it? But you know, I would love to attend those events. You know, see this, so. They do every year. Thirty five thousand people attend that event, so it's a big event. And in my school, you know, these kind of activities happened because I was in missionary school where French and French and nuns from Vatican City would go. So now what happened on Easter Day? I was so tired that I took Vatican events and I put it there.

7:52 I was trying to do some Vatican briefing and I could not get the Vatican briefing. I put that events. You know, it was suddenly changed. I don't know what happened and I'm not a computer person, so I don't know what happened. So well, that is my story of this. Easter. And now let's see of the Uptan. See I will show you. It is very difficult to show your wedding album when you are a widow. So see why the religious sensitivity. See the uptun on my hand, it is put on a beata leaf and put it there. And in our culture, you know, people sit it is called Halthi ceremony or manja and people wear yellow clothes. You know, everyone is in the yellow or green clothes. You know Machi and Maindy and I have Machi and Maindy both and see that how I am sitting here. I hate Upton because it gives me a big allergic response. I don't know what they put in Upton. And the same thing I didn't have any allergic response to Mendi, the same thing I have with Mandy. And now they are throwing that so I could have I was shivering like this, you know it was something was there. And now I have to go and get a malaria test, you know, I have to. I have to set up some appointments with my doctor and get malaria tests.

9:21 So see how people are, you know. Like, this is not some kind of activity that you do people can die of that. This is this is not some third world country. This is America, and there are laws and laws which have to be respected and people's privacy have to be respected. Having said that, so now so now let's see how much your how much we have because today's thing is about Nepal. The paper is determined of women empowerment in Nepal. This is the paper here and it says as of twenty twenty three, twenty four, there are an estimated two lap twenty three thousand to two lack twenty five thousand Nepalis American living in the United States.

10:12 According to US Census. Brewer estimates this population has grown rapidly, with over sixty eight per of Nepali migrants arriving after twenty ten, making them a fast growing South Asian subgroup. That is pure research centers think, you know, and they're so, this is what it is. And then you know, wherever I go in Montgomery County, you know, I see these Nepalis all over the place. You know, So I said, let me see the data that how many Nepalis are in Montgomery County. So it says, based on available data, the Nepalese community in Montgomery County, Maryland is part of the broader Asian population, which the specific community needs assessment and cultural organizations active in the area.

11:03 Well. Recent exact and granular numbers for the Nepalese population alone are not explicity listed in the provided search results. The community is identified as part of the counties grown, foreign born and Asian population. So, you know, wherever I go, there are so many of Nepalese, and my community it is called ma Falls Grove, you know where they all live, and most of the people living in these condos are there they and also you know, some of them are very problematic, some are very nice, some are very problematic. You know, they do hashish, they do they do all kinds of bad work, you know. So you know it is kind of a mixed population. So how did this evolve that put all Nepalese Because two hundred and twenty three thousand is nothing in America in that three more than three eighty million people living in America.

12:02 It is not that. But at a specific area, if they are concentrated, you know, they do every kind of work you go anywhere, they do every kind of work and even crime is very prevalent, and they are also doing a lot of crimes and I have that proof of it. And I'm not against Nepali's community because there is a Nepali TV also and I am and one of my best friends, you know, she is she is on that on Nepali's TV and she started Nepali TV also in that language. For a very long time.

12:42 But I don't know that why they are only concentrated in my locality. People's slog you know, to be in Montego Marie County hold their lives. So have they slogged that much to be here or they are just you know, coming with some money and they are being put here. I don't know what is the reason. Only precedents, the living presidents can tell and the current president, President Trump, and the former president President Clinton, President Obama and President Bush and also President Biden, they can only evaluate that. So that is a very. Important question to ponder that if we have and Montgomery County is the second richest county, so why these people are here? What is the real agenda that why I'm not against them. I like Nepalis, I like their culture, but there has to be a limit. That why America first, we are living here because of them, you know, we have to share so much, and because of other immigrants you know, from other countries who are coming here. The sources have become very very little, you know, and everything, the inflation is so much, the GDP is going down, and every problem is because there are more people than the resources of every ethnic group. And I am also

14:13 an immigrant, but I came thirty two years back. If today I don't have a sponsorship for my show, and those people have sponsorships for that show, then why my show doesn't have a sponsorship. I am first here many people, you know, And is it the agenda that these people come from outside and you kill the Muslim population, because right now Muslim population is really mutilated, you know, and all kinds of illegal droning, illegal. Espionage is happening there. And I'm not saying that Jewish population, American, white Caucasian population lives here, but you know, it is so difficult to find them because most of the time you see these kind of ethnic groups. So that led to me to choose this paper Determinants of Women Empowerment in Nepal, and it is Dongan at all.

15:11 This is the paper. This study seeks to identify key determinents of women empowerment in Nepal using a rich set of socio demographic and socioeconomic characteristics as well as behavior factors and regional indicators. So this is the abstract. Little bit I will read about the abstract I have read. You go and get this paper from the journal. Name is and uh. These authors contribute contributed equally to this work Mobizon at KC dot org dot u A and it is Nutfill Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, the University of Oxford, United Kingdom, and KEYV School of Economics.

15:59 Keep you grain. So this is the paper. Now. Introduction says Nepal is characterized. By low empowerment of women, which may have negative effects on their health status as well as sexual and reproductive rights. So we seek to identify key determinants of women empowerment in Nepal using a rich set of socio demographic and socio economic characteristics as well as behavior factors and regional indicators. As President Trump said that when they come from the other countries, they send them bad people here. So are they good people or bad people? You don't know, because they flock in their own communities. They don't intermingle. They flock in their own communities. And I had a very very bad experience with a Nepali in Lucknow who was so nice to us. He was a servant who was so nice to us, and he took away all a lot of jewelry and he ran away. So so and I have seen how they behave with us there, And I don't know what to say, you know, because they are too many in this area.

17:13 They should be dispersed. And so is the American population, so is the black population here. There are too many in this Democratic county. You know, if what is there today? I invited, you know, because I wanted some people you know, from White House or other federal agencies to be the co host of my show. But I could not get a co host of the shoe and explain the paper. Is it very difficult to find someone who can explain research paper because American is standards I have uh have gone drastically. So what is the future of. America for these American children who have who have been subjected to these kind these kinds of activities.

18:01 A guy lives upstairs. And from there, you know, every day they throw hashish and ganja and drugs, you know, and I don't know why, you know, And there is so much of noise pollution, so like if they made money because to live in this county or you have to slog all your life. And this study is I don't know from which grant it came because it says this is an open access article which permits unrestricted used distribution and reproduction in any media, provided the author and source are credited. So I don't know.

18:42 Pilos is a journal. I didn't heard of its name. That what pilos means, you know, And so it is a journal, and there are billions of journals, you know, and millions of paper but I have introduced an Entrepreneurial journal club and there, you know, I would be talking about research papers. So if you want your paper, please go to my website discuss www dot Shanhashmi dot com. And there is a price to that. So I was looking for someone, you know, who could talk about it, and I did not get a time to contact the authors. Maybe authors would be very thrilled, you know, to do this paper. But this is the problem in America. I don't know about Oxford. I don't know about England, so I don't know about Europe. But this is a problem here.

19:34 They cannot come here and do hashi ganjha or theft. You know, they cannot do that. They have to intermingle in a very very nice manner. So method this is study utilizes four thousand, two eleven women aged between fifteen and forty nine years from the twenty twenty two demographic and healths away for Nepal. Following the previous study for Mozambique. We use principle component analysis to identify components of women empowerment along these domains believe about violence, decision making, and control over sexuality and safe sex. We use logistic recreations to identify significant productors of empowerment in each domain and provide fued and adjusted odds ratios along with the ninety five person confidence. We found that older age is internally associated with higher empowerment across all these domains, so the conclusion is one. Results have many similarities but also notable differences with previous literature, which emphasizes the importance of regular and region specific studies of women empowerment in cooledging the potential for the change over time and also prevailing differences across regions women empowerment. Everybody talks about women empowerment, but I'm not empowered. If I had been empowered by now, I would have got a grant, you know, and uh,

21:06 and I would have been living lavishly. But my husband was taken away, my family was taken away. So this is not women empowerment. This is like demolishing that the Muslim population. And any time sharia law is discussed on the TV that discussed sharia law on media outlets as if you know, nothing has happened. So now see this paper and this journal. Club will have positive and negative thoughts. And every thought is important for me. So if you want to contribute, write to me and give me question and answers and our questions, and I will give you answer. I pro I promise in one of these shows, too Fast of particular reverence to that and sustainable development goals, particularly as Default G five launched in twenty fifteen, which call for global commitment towards the iradigation of gender equal inequality as well as promoting the empowerment of women and girls. As a relatively new concept, the different studies on empowerment have yielded varied definition. Even so, empowerment can be.

22:19 Generally understood as the capacity to exercise choice and freedom to make decisions which had been previously denied. And let's go, you know to the source of this indicators women empowerment by seven readers in Nepal. So they have made a statistical significant uh this uh paragraph of the results and it is they have Coshi Area, Madhesh Bagmati, Gandha Ki lumbin Karnali and South Prussian. And let's come and discuss this later in my brain. So I'm going on a break and we'll come back and discuss that.

23:04 Allow viewers around the group. This is Doctor of Charm Hatman the. Live for her radio show at pay four SHB and Talk for TV show. And I just wanted to request you that the please give me a sponsorship if you want to. Want this show to continue. Having said that, friends, I will see you in another. Episode of K four st radio plus. Talk for TV show. And if you give me a sponsorship, I will give you a very reasonable price. And they're also you will get a lot of promotion as this show is syndicated your wife to move them through your Christmas years. And bye bye.

23:53 Would you love exposure for your business, product or service to over three hundred million potential listeners.

Inspiration through Jugar is an inspiration on how to create products using technology that meet the price value equation. According to a Harvard Business Review article featuring expert prellad Than marshalcre most innovation programs are built on the assumptions of affluence and abundance.

24:54 We see the rich and the young in both the developed and the developing countries demanding in mental friendly products and services. They also believe that affordability and sustainability are crucial to driving successful business Today, new technologies and radical business models are important not only to penetrate mass markets in India but in the entire world. By reconfigure during all areas of the business structure, they will hold.

25:36 Hey monsters infection is spreading worldwide. OMG. Is this a simple infection or a deliberate attempt to ruin the human population, or maybe it's bio terrorism. What is this global infection and who is spreading it? Help us find out? Go to Amazon and search for the Outbreak of a Monstrous Infection and Race needs your help to make this go viral. Go to Amazon dot com and read the Outbreak of a Monstrous Infection to find out what happens next. Go now, the world is depending on you.

26:24 And now's the doctor ash on Hashme's radio show. So there is a very interesting indicators of women empowerment by seven regions. So I told you about the seven regions. And there is such an interesting thing they say women here, They. Say wife goes out without telling husband. It doesn't being a it doesn't specify what she has to tell where she is going. And yes, Nepal is one of the very very poor countries. So of course women have to be empowered because they are the people. You know, if the mother is empowered, then the generation is empowered. That is what my mother used to say, and that's why she believed in women empowerment, and she empowered me and I am quite liberal and quite vocal, so that is why. And I tell the truth as it is. I tell the truth what has happened with me.

27:23 I'm not afraid of anything or all. If you ask me questions, I will answer you. So give me a lot of questions on this research paper, because some of you are my neighbors and I. Want to know you. But the way you all a cring together and all, and the way you're living, I want to come and do a life story on you that how you live and everyone, you know, their media outlets have billions of people you know subscribing to them and all that. Let me drink a little bit. And yes, there is a lot of prostitution there in that country. And because the girls of those countries are really cute.

28:10 You know. In my original city Naligar, there were Nepalis in Jumpath. In New Delhi there were Nepalis and most of them were involved in prostitution. And that's what my mother told me that she used to take care of them. She was not taking me once there. But I said to my mother that I will go there and I have a lot of Nepali shawls and all I will display Nepalio that their culture. You know, in Jumpa, if you go. Always or if they say it is seven hundred, say it is fifty rupees. You know, that is the kind of thing.

28:50 And New Delhi is filled of Nepali's and they are called Pahari's also from Himachal Pradesh. And the people, you know, they are flocked to New Delhi. And most of the jobs in hotels and all they are doing that. And the same thing has come here that most of the hotel jobs, you know, they are doing. And one day I went to have breakfast. I don't know what that person Nepali had put in my breakfast, you know. And then they pretend as if they don't understand the English. So they should be trained. If they have come here, they should be trained in a proper way. So now see it says I never heard this that wife goes without telling husband, wife refuses to have sex with husband because they are open society.

29:42 They can have sex with anyone. That is their mantra. Most of them are Buddhist, you know, and that is their mantra. It's a very very complex society. You cannot make out, you know that what they are thinking, it is like Chinese. They will say they don't understand the thing, and you cannot make out that whether they know English or they don't know. And they look around like like people from Shimla are also the same and people from Nepal are also the same. And you know, so it is very difficult. Five argues with husband fife burns the food. See now wife is burning the food. I have told that man upstairs who lives not to do drugs here, but they are doing drugs. And yes, since PM modib Hi, they are all your people. So PM modib Hi, you know, I call him Prime Minister of India, PM modib Hi.

30:41 I want to tie him. Raki Sergio Gore is here. If Sergio Goar is listening, the Ambassador to India, please contact me and I will, you know, send raki the RUCHERI raki to modig You know, so most of the Modigi's people are these ones? Are they Gorkha range from the rashpat Because since childhood I have been interacting with presidents and prime ministers. So is it the Gore carrange of those people? The military people? They are tiny, tiny and it is called Gore courage. So are they those people I have no clue that who. But if it is Gor Carrange and all you know there and living in Rashpatibawan, they would have manners, you know. But this guy who lives upstairs, uh has no manners I have been telling not to do. There are some blacks with him, and Nepalies and blacks. You know, that is a very very detrimental combination. Let's see what President Obama if he hears my show, what President Obama has to say about this combination and Hillary Clinton about this combination, that that Nepalis plus blacks.

31:54 Is equal to. Detrimental things, you know in in this in is Montgomery County such a Polish county? And Modiji, how many Nepalis have you sent here? Is this census data correct or not? And are they gore Karage or are they from from Himachal Pradesh? Because most of the prostitution in New Delhi is done by these girls, Nepali girls, as well as it is done by Russian girls, you know, so that is also a very feasible thing that they can be Russia agents. They can be anything because all localike, you know, all localike, they are so similar by their face. So now see Wealth Index computed by DHS combined various factors like ownership of television's bicycles, housing, construction materials, water, axcess and sanitation facilities. This index were further divided into Quintai's poorest, poor, middle, rich, and richest. Media access inditer If they are good in English, and there are many in White House, you know, in secret service and in FBI.

33:07 I have seen many Nepalis. Why didn't I get even one person, you know, to come on my show and speak in English? I have seen many used to come and. See my husband, and they are very smart ladies. Where where is that lady you know who used to come as occupational therapists to see my husband? Where is she today? This is if she was If she really was an occupational therapist, she should have come here and disc being a co host or it was just a fake thing, you know that she does. She cannot understand papers. You go to restaurants, they're sitting there. All the menial work is done by them. In Nepal, there exists important provincial differences in terms of geography, population, economy, and so on.

33:56 Bagmati Province, for example. Includes the Cartmund Valley and is the main powerhouse of the economy. So I would like to know from the authors of this paper that is there any improvement and the presidents of United States present one as well as the former one that how come these people have come here? And I would love, you know, to interact with them on this. Nepali population and black population, socioeconomic, demographic and behavioral characteristics of women included in the study so age years, so now they have divided into age and they are doing women empowerment according to that, when will Muslims be.

34:40 Empowered around the globe? That is a question which is haunting me like anything. You know, see how Muslims, you know, all Muslims are not terrorists. There are very very educated Muslims, you know, but they don't have those resources. What these Nepalis have age of first cohabitation up to ten now see up to ten, ten to fourteen, fifteen to nineteen. So these are the girls and they are going through rehabilitation. That's what I was told that they are going through rehabilitation. That they were sex workers and they are going through rehabilitation.

35:20 Do you think that they will go through all this while the resources are put on focusing on them and not on us. The Black population and the Nepali population. I would love their leaders, you know, especially President Trump, and if President Clinton is involved, I would like to interact with them. The current one is fighting on many issues President Trump, but you know President Biden and President President Obama and President Bush as well as I don't think so it is a Bush mentality kind of a thing. But if it is President Clinton, I would love to interact with you that how come you are empowering them and you are not empowering Muslims because most of the votes Democratic Party has is from Muslim people, you know, and they are yes, Buddhist Hindus. They are hardly Muslims in this population because the most of them are PMO these people.

36:24 So now I will go on a break and we'll be back soon. Around the most and which give you any reading and talk for the friends. I alive Maryland in a country club. And I just reminted to say that ms Ausoship with to go on because. To produce these show. Having set the French.

37:07 Would you love exposure for your business, product or service to over three hundred million potential listeners? Send an email to info at talkformedia dot com and now let's hear from some of our sponsors. A monstrous infection is spreading worldwide. Oh my god. Is this a simple infection or a deliberate attempt to ruin the human population? Or maybe it's bioterrorism. What is this global infection and who is spreading it? Help us find out.

37:50 Go to Amazon and search for the Outbreak of a Monstrous Infection. The human race needs your help to make this go viral. Go to Amazon dot com. Men, read the Outbreak of a Monstrous Infection to find out what happens next. Go now, the world is depending on you. The Outbreak of a Monstrous Infection Chapter one, nineteen sixty four to twenty eighteen. And this is the sample track and it is read by doctor Arafshan Nahid Hashmi in a sprawling banglaw. In Potomac, Maryland, USA, lived doctor Honey Singh, a both certified internal medicine and family practice physician, along with his beautiful wife, Baby Singh. Baby Singh was a fashionista and was funding women's pauses through her Honeybay Foundation.

38:51 She had a lady's book club by the name of Baby's Glam and Glitzy Club, which had many glam and glitzy ladies who were professionals living in Washington, d C. Potomac, Maryland, Virginia, and even Beverly Hills, California, as well as elite from all of America, meeting at her place on the last Wednesday of every month discussing various aspects of charities they wanted her and doctor Honey to fund. In this club, there was a wide spectrum of career women. There were doctors, lawyers, actresses, business owners, and models to name a few. In these book club meetings, members would come prepared after reading a book of a famous woman author, and that author was even invited from any part of the world to give her presentation, followed by a Q and A in this prestigious and elite gathering.

39:49 And now thanks to doctor Offshan Hashmi's radio shows. So very little time is left by DH provides convenient, steritized data for international comparison, especially in the context of developing economies. Its selection of empowerment and this is the discussion with the heart of the paper at the end, there is a this is called discussion or you can say the conclusion or anything. Instead, we followed a more direct approach which combines women actions or believe in into three domains related to empowerment, and. Then identified factors.
