The central secretary of the National Dalit journalists Federation , Rita Budhathoki, said that the main purpose of the trip is to end the discrimination that is still widespread. Stating that not only being a Dalit, andt being a Dalit woman, she faced more discrimination, she said that she started the campaign by realizing that journalists, who are the mirror of society, should be aware to end the discrimination.

Stating that Nepal’s constitution and laws are like a well without water, the thirst of the victimized community will not be quenched.
