Nepal has always been a land of enchantment where a lot of traditions and culture have been in existence with almost perfect harmony with each other. The ancient traditions and culture have been followed by the people of Nepal for centuries which have helped in the preservation of the heritage of Nepal, intact. There are different facets to these traditions but the most intriguing facet is the attitude of Nepalese towards women. Nepal is a principally Hindu nation; and from a religious point of view, the women are considered to be sacred and a part of the God who created life. However, in practice the women are taken as the subordinate members of the society who are merely confined to their duties within the household. This attitude towards Nepalese women has fascinated a lot of researchers and a lot of conclusions have been drawn. But still there is more to this aspect which is yet to be explored. This research makes an attempt to determine the current situation of women and their struggle to cope with it.

This study was carried out in Sangla VDC, Kathmandu Valley. The village is located about 10 kilometers north of Kathmandu. As is typical of the demographic profile of Nepal, various ethnic groups reside together in the area. The caste structure is also still apparent, but traditions favoring the isolation of so-called lower castes (for example, not using water which has been touched by this sector of society) are gradually decreasing. The major religions in Sangla are Hinduism and Buddhism. As is also typical, most people in the village do farm work as their major occupation, although the village is also home to a small proportion of workers and businessmen as well. The education level of the inhabitants varies in different wards of the village, but a useful generalization that was observed was that the higher the altitude of the ward, the lower the average level of education was likely to be.
