Trapped in silence: Nepal’s deaf community struggles without interpreters
With only around 131 interpreters for over 50,000 deaf individuals, many are left without basic communication in health, legal and public services. While local initiatives and digital tools show promise, progress is slow, underfunded and uneven—especially in rural areas.
Issuing a press statement on Wednesday, RSP General Secretary Bipin Acharya refuted the news, saying, "There is no truth in the news that RSP had 35,257 party members below 18 years."
