We extend our heartiest congratulations and best wishes to our respected colleague, Bhumika Shrestha, on her historic achievement as Nepal’s first transgender Federal Member of Parliament through the proportional representation system representing the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP). Since joining the Blue Diamond Society in 2004, your relentless leadership in the peaceful movement for the human rights of gender and sexual minorities specifically regarding citizenship with identity, marriage equality, and community empowerment, has been rightly recognized by the ‘Nai Ram-Laxmi Award,’ the Government of Nepal’s ‘Jansewashree Fifth’ decoration, and the International Women of Courage Award. Having worked side-by-side for decades, the Blue Diamond Society family takes immense pride in your transition to the halls of Parliament, and we are fully confident that your presence in the legislative process will ensure a powerful voice for the marginalized and the upliftment of the LGBTIQA+ community. We express our sincere gratitude to the RSP and all stakeholders who have supported this journey since the beginning, and we wish you absolute success in this new and vital chapter of leadership.
Heartfelt Congratulations to Bhumika Shrestha on Her Historic Journey to Parliament
