In 2025, young protesters in Nepal took to the streets to demand change. They are frustrated with ongoing corruption in the government and feel their voices are ignored. This protest brought together thousands of students who marched in cities, holding signs for justice.
The protests became dangerous when police used tear gas and live rounds on the crowd. Sadly, many people were hurt. In response, the government placed a curfew in the city, but the anger continued to grow.
