BYAN in collaboration with the National Association of the Sign Language Interpreters Nepal (NASLI) and the National Federation of the Deaf Nepal (NFDN), has been conducting a 4 days workshop on SRHR for the sign language interpreters of Nepal. We realized that there is the existence of a knowledge gap on SRHR among deaf and hard of hearing communities of Nepal. The absence of signs for many of the technical teams related to CSE and SRHR has created serious disadvantages for hearing impaired people and increased their vulnerability and made it difficult for them to claim their SRHR. Consequently, BYAN, NASLI, and NFDN decided to produce a dictionary for people with hearing impairments which includes CSE and SRHR related signs.
Therefore, The major intention of this workshop is to increase the understanding of SRHR and to develop key sign language words in terms of SRHR contexts. Usually, there are very limited words in sign language dictionary regarding Sexual and reproductive health for people with deaf and hard of hearing.

अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरुको मर्यादित जीवन यापनका निम्ति सहयोग पु¥याउने उद्देश्यले २०५१ सालमाबनेको सरकारले मासिक रु १००का दरले सामाजिक सुरक्षा भक्ता उपलब्ध गराएको थियो जुन स्वागतयोग्यथियो । तत्कालिन सरकारले सुरुवात गरेको सामाजिक सुरक्षा कार्यक्रमलाई क्रमस दक्षिण एसियाका अन्यमुलुकहरुले पनि अनुकरण गरेका थिए ।
सरकारको उक्त कार्यको सवैतिरबाट सरहाना हुँदै आएको र सामाजिक सुरक्षा भत्ता पनि क्रमस बृदि हुँदैहाल पुर्ण अशक्त अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरुका लागि मासिक रु ३०००, अति अशक्त अपाङ्गता भएकाव्यक्तिहरुकालागि मासिक रु १६०० भएको छ । सामाजिक सुरक्षा भत्तालाई जिवन निर्वाहमुखी बनाउनुपर्छभन्ने आवाज उठिरहदा गृह मन्त्रालय अन्तरगत राष्ट्र्यि परिचय पत्र तथा पञ्जीकरण बिभागको मिति २०७६चैत्र २६ गतेको निर्णय अनुसार सामाजिक सुरक्षा नियमावलि २०७६ को कार्यान्वयन गर्न भन्दै सवै स्थानीयतहलाई अति अशक्त अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरुको सामाजिक सुरक्षा भत्ता निरन्तर नगर्ने भन्ने परिपत्रप्रति नेत्रहीन युवा संघ नेपालको गम्भिर ध्यानाकर्षण भएको छ ।
अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरुको अन्तराष्ट्र्यि महासन्धी CRPD लाई अनुमोदन गरि सोही अनुरुप घरेलुकानुनहरुको निमार्ण हुदै जानुले नेपाल विवेधरहित र उत्रदायी राज्य बन्न लागेको महसुस हुदै ग¥र्दा उक्तनिर्णय यस प्रक्रियामा अवरोधको रुपमा देखिएको छ ।
अतः सरकारले गरेको यस निर्णयलाई पुर्नविचर गरि अति अशक्त अपाङ्गताभएका व्यक्तिहरुको लागिप्रदान गरिदै आएको सामाजिक सुरक्षा भक्ता कार्यक्रमलाई निरन्तरता दिई अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरुकोसम्मानीत जिवन यापनगर्न यो सरकार जिम्मेवार बन्नकालागि नेत्रहीन युवा संघ नेपाल हार्दिक अपिल गर्दछ।

1. Are people with sight loss at a higher risk of catching coronavirus as their experience of public environments is often more tactile?
Anyone can put themselves at risk through touching things outside of their home environment and then touching their eyes, nose or mouth before thoroughly cleaning their hands. The government guidance is clear on the dos and don'ts with regards to stopping the spread of infection:
Do
- wash your hands with soap and water often - do this for at least 20 seconds
- use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
- wash your hands as soon as you get back home
- cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
- put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands afterwards
Don't
- do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean
2. How do I practice social distancing?
In order to protect ourselves and save lives it is vital that we follow Government guidelines on social distancing to reduce the risk of spreading coronavirus.
If possible, avoid leaving your home and make use of local and national resources to support you in your house.
If you need to go out for a walk or to access essential goods, there isn't an issue for you to be guided by a member of your household. If you do not have anyone within your household to guide you, the government guidance is to maintain a 2 metre distance, so guiding should be avoided where possible.
If you are unable to gauge whether you are maintaining the recommended distance from someone outside of your home environment, you may want to implement the following suggestions:
- Make regular announcements letting others know of your proximity and that you are unaware of theirs
- Use your symbol cane when out and about so others are aware that you have sight loss
- Ensure to carefully wash/sanitise your hands before leaving your home and as soon as you return to keep the risk of spreading the virus to a minimum
- Avoid touching your face or touching anyone in your household unless you have recently cleaned your hands
3. Should I continue to use my eye drops during Covid-19?
Yes. If you are being prescribed drops for any eye condition, you should continue to use them as directed by your consultant. It is very important that you do not stop, as interrupting your treatment can cause problems with your vision.
We’ve all been instructed not to touch our faces and eyes to avoid infection. However, if you’ve been told to pinch the corner of your eyelid while putting your eye drops in, you should still be doing this as it is an important stage in making sure your drops are effective.
Before you start putting in your eye drops, it is really important that you wash your hands for 20 seconds using soap and hot water, as advised by the Government. As long as your hands are clean, then you are not going to cause infection while putting your eye drops in.
4. I am worried about accessing products and services during the coronavirus pandemic, who can help?
Supermarkets are currently operating online stores and delivering the goods to the doorsteps . Some of the shops are open in the morning and evening times are offering special opening hours.The government advises only shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible. However, if you do need to go to a supermarket or shops , use your symbol cane if you have one to let others know you have sight loss. Shops and Supermarket staff will be willing to help you find items in the store.
Some of the operating online stores for the basic items are :
a. Bhatbhateni super Market; You can call on 9801241449, 9801246806, 9801118837. Every order would require Name, Mobile Number and Address. We will be delivering at your home. Effective from: 2020-03-27
