Nepal's Gen Z protests yield limited results one year on
Youth-led demonstrations that prompted a leadership change have not translated into sustained reforms, activists say.
It has been one year since Nepal's Gen Z launched protests against corruption that led to a change in leadership. However, a year later, analysis of the government's actions suggests that many of the movement's core demands remain unmet.
Youth activists report that while the leadership transition occurred, systematic reforms addressing transparency, accountability, and institutional change have stalled. The protests, which galvanized young Nepalis into political action, have not resulted in the legislative or structural changes demonstrators sought.
