The BBC’s monthly 100 People listing has named a trans human rights activist for her work in LGBTQ+ campaigning and defending cover rights.
The list includes another “influential and encouraging ladies” from around the world, including former US First Lady Michelle Obama, animal rights attorney Amal Clooney, and Hollywood star America Ferrera. Rukshana Kapali, a Nepalese woman, has also been included.
Her passage on the list states that transgender human rights activist Rukshana Kapali, a native of Nepal’s aboriginal Newa state,” struggled with the lack of knowledge about her personality when she was growing up.”
” She started down her own self-educational path centered on the diversity of sex and sexuality.” She came out when she was a girl and has been outspoken on social media about gay rights.
She is constantly working to advance the legal and constitutional rights for LGBTQ+ people in Nepal while she is a third-year rules pupil.
” Kapali fights against forced foreclosures of Jugi individuals from their traditional houses and is a historically marginalized class within the Newa race.”
Speaking with the Nepalese online news Setopati, Kapali claimed she was overwhelmed by the attention she received upon waking up to several congratulations regarding her inclusion on the list.
She was already aware that she was on the list, but she was n’t certain when it would go live.
She told the publication,” Since my tale started appearing in the internet, it has had a beneficial impact on me, my family, and myself.”
” People’s perceptions of me and people like me have been destroyed.” The BBC’s listing, in my opinion, will aid in dispelling these drawbacks.
Since 2013, the BBC has conducted its 100 Women list, which includes “voices from across the political spectrum and from all areas of society, explored titles around topics that broken judgment, and chosen women who have created their own modify.”
