Honorable Supreme Court judge Sapana Pradhan Malla will be discussing why inclusion is critical due to an unbalanced structure that exists based on diversity. Including stories from the beginning, this talk will encompass the conceptual framework of inclusion which was dealt with within the first draft of the constitution and how that concept is currently being translated into a legal framework. She will talk about the challenges we are facing and why the right holder needs to engage in this process. Throughout the talk, her own story will be shared of how she gained the courage and passion for understanding not just the power of the vote but the participation in it.
