Promoting Diversity in the Nepalese Public Sector: Focused on the Anti-Discrimination of Sexual Minorities

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Race and gender, ethnicity and disability are all social problems related to diversity. And sexual orientation is being raised as a hot issue around the world. Public sector organizations are very slow in adopting such changes as the law of anti-discrimination law enacted for addressing the alienation issues that many of minority groups face. The management of human resources needs some effective strategies to meet the rights of sexual minorities who have been excluded from society for a very long time. The sexual minorities of Nepal are not much different as an isolated group in that many of whom are living at or below the poverty line. The government policy for the law enforcement of anti-discrimination hence should be urgently carried out in order for them to enjoy their basic rights without bias. The Nepalese Constitution was amended in 2015, protecting the human rights substantial to sexual minorities. Through analyzing the current status of sexual minorities in Nepal, this paper proposes that the Nepalese public sector provides them fine jobs, whereby becoming a desirable model for the private sectors in creating a variety of work opportunities and employments for them.
