Why there are dogs and people together in street?
Her story reflects 3 things for me related to the weaknesses in our Nepali Society. (1.) The responsible body or organisation with full authority lacking to help someone physically weak living in street (2.) Even though there are other organisation else than this but a person physically or mentally weak who is not capable to do toilet in proper place due to physical disability or cause of sickness, is difficult to handle. This types of social organisation do not have financial resources that could let hire someone to take care. (3.) and the third is that suppose if she is socially disadvantage or lower in social system, she is outcast from basic rights.

Console Mission has a place but do not have full or part time staff. It has been taking care of the people abandoned or living in street by placing them at the places relevant to them. But in such case it is a big challenge. More than food or shelter, she (the woman in picture: Mrs Kanchi Maya Nepali who had 7 children but none is there for her to take care and suffering from various social stigma) needs someone to take care for her to go to toilet or help her.
(C.M. has not still understood her situation that brought her in street but most probably, based on the experiences, she must be stranded while she needs someone to take care)
