Women, Power, and Gender-Based Violence in Nepali Literature - Justice Junction Ep. 25

Justice Junction | Episode 25 Topic: On Women, Power, and GBV in Nepali Literature Guest Speaker: Momila Joshi, Writer and Poet Presented By: FRESH International Welcome to Justice Junction – a podcast by FRESH International exploring legal, feminist, and justice-centered conversations from Nepal. In this special episode, we explore the evolving role of women in the Nepali literature scene with writer and poet Momila Joshi. Through an honest and deeply reflective conversation, we discuss the journeys women writers have taken to claim space in a traditionally male-dominated literary field—and the many barriers that still remain. The episode delves into the difficulties women face within the literary world, including issues of recognition, gatekeeping, and unequal access to platforms. We also address the often-unspoken reality of gender-based violence (GBV) within the literary and cultural sphere, examining how power dynamics, silencing, and harassment affect women writers’ lives and creative freedom. Importantly, the conversation turns to how literature itself becomes a site of resistance. Momila Joshi shares insights on addressing GBV through poetry and prose—how storytelling can challenge harmful norms, give voice to lived experiences, and create empathy and accountability. This episode is not only about literature, but about courage, truth-telling, and the transformative power of words. #NepaliLiterature #WomenInLiterature #WomenWriters #NepaliPoetry #FeministLiterature #GenderBasedViolence #GBV #WritingResistance #LiteratureAndJustice #VoicesOfWomen #SouthAsianLiterature #nepalipodcast #justicejunction #freshinternationalnepal
