Rojina Raut

Rojina Raut is a prominent advocate for women's leadership and empowerment in Nepal. Recently, she spoke at the fifth edition of the 'Fearless Women: Women's Power in Leadership' event organized by Kantipur Media Group's Nari Magazine, where she highlighted the challenges women face in managerial roles. Raut emphasized the prevalent skepticism towards women's capabilities in leadership positions, citing her experience of working with a predominantly female team yet encountering resistance and disbelief from male counterparts. She pointed out the 'invisible barriers' that discourage women from stepping into leadership roles, including societal attitudes and logistical challenges in the workplace, particularly in industries like hospitality. Raut's insights reflect a broader concern about the lack of role models for younger generations, particularly Gen Z, which she believes is critical for inspiring future female leaders.
