While I appreciate the sentiment, I wish the article had included more specific statistics about women's participation rates in these fields. The progress is great but we need measurable data to understand the real impact.

I teared up reading about Pratima Sherpa being mentioned. She's my cousin and seeing her journey from our village to being recognized internationally... it's everything. Thank you Manisha for shining light on these stories!
