短片简介:
2015年,2015年尼泊尔宪法的颁布启动了该国向联邦政府的过渡,从而为当地政府参与提供了机会,使人们能够更好地了解其社区的治理方式。 2017年“地方选举法”规定,每个选区选出的两名议员必须是女性,两名女性中的一名必须是达利特人,总共6743名。这部电影试图探讨尼泊尔特莱地区的一位当地选举产生的代表的困境,即属于某个边缘化社区既有利也有祸害。虽然她的代表是上述规定的直接结果,但候选人因为是达利特妇女而当选的事实讽刺地禁止她有意义地参与行使她作为议会成员的权利和责任。她只是一个代理领导者,在决策方面没有她自己的意见和她作为议会成员的角色,这使她更难以达到选举她的人的期望。这是Jasodhiya Paswan夫人的故事,她想要让她的声音被计算在内,不仅仅是在纸上,而是在现实中。这是为了提高像Jasodhiya Paswan这样成千上万人的声音。

In the year 2015, the promulgation of the Constitution of Nepal 2015 initiated the country’s transition to a federal state, thereby providing an opportunity for local participation in government giving people a stronger voice in how their communities are governed. The Local Level Election Act 2017 mandates that two of the ward members elected for each ward must be women and one of the two women must be a Dalit, in total of 6743 wards. The film tries to explore the dilemma of one of such locally elected representatives from Terai region of Nepal, whereby belonging to a certain marginalized community is boon as well as bane. While her representation is a direct outcome of the aforementioned provision, the fact that the candidate has been elected by virtue of being a Dalit woman ironically prohibits her meaningful participation in the exercise of her rights and responsibilities as a Ward member. She is just a proxy leader, with no say of her own in decision making and her role as a Ward member, which makes it only harder for her to live up to the expectations of the people who elected her. This is the story of Mrs. Jasodhiya Paswan, who wants her voice to be counted, not just on paper but in reality. This is an effort to raise the voice of thousands like Jasodhiya Paswan.
