US Ambassador to Nepal Randy W. Berry has said that he is proud to have met with social activist Dr. Bishnu Maya Pariyar. He tweeted after meeting with Pariyar – “Honored to meet & hear from the always inspiring Bishnu Maya Pariyar. She has done so much for equality and inclusivity for ALL Nepalis. He also mentioned on the official facebook page of the US Embassy, Nepal.
As a girl from a small village of Gorkha, Bishnu Maya Pariyar thought she was “untouchable” until meeting a kind Peace Corps Nepal volunteer in her school. After years of hard work and dedication, she and her organization Association for Dalit Women’s Advancement of Nepal (Adwan Nepal) have paved the way for countless girls and women to seek education and greater opportunities, no matter their background. Ambassador Berry met with her this week and listened to her stories and experiences.
After meeting with US Ambassador Randy Barry, Bishnu Maya expressed a big honor to him. He maintained on social media, “Thank you so much for your precious time, your vision, leadership, and willingness to listen. Thank you for giving this important opportunity to speak about the voices of the voiceless, share the story of my life struggles and my small achievements. Since I have been working to empower marginalized, Dalit women and children, I would love to have the opportunity to work with the embassy in this regard.”
