Vision Statement

I envision literature created by Nepalese writers residing in Australia, whether composed originally in English or translated into English, being prominently published, showcased, and readily accessible in Australian libraries and bookstores, standing alongside the works of mainstream authors. Every effort and action I undertake for literature is dedicated to realizing this vision.

Graphic Novels





Rebika

This graphic novel offers informative content about puberty, addressing topics often excluded from family discussions. Through its bold narrative, the story delves into physical development and reproductive health, exploring the emotional and social changes experienced by the main character, Rebika. It stands as one of Nepal's pioneering graphic novels focusing on these crucial aspects of adolescent life.

Ahiyan Jari Chha

Abiyan Jari Chha,' translated as 'Movement is Going On' in English, narrates a compelling story based on real-life events during Nepal's armed conflict. At its core, the narrative revolves around women who fell victim to the conflict's turmoil. The book vividly portrays the lives of these women in rural areas—capturing their struggles, emotions, and the challenges they faced while attempting to maintain a semblance of normalcy amid the state-rebel conflict.

With a central aim to advocate for women's rights in participating actively within the peace process and securing protection, this publication by Shati—a well-known organization dedicated to promoting women's rights in Nepal—aims to shed light on the crucial role women play in such circumstances.
