  ABSTRACT: Gender inequality is one of the central topics and the most challenging social problems in human development. This paper explores the issues of existing gender inequality in Nepalese society through the eyes of traditional Nepalese proverbs. The central research question of this article is “In what way do Nepalese proverbs interact with gender roles, and do they play a role in its perpetuation?” Nepal has been depicted as a nation with the highest degree of gender-based discrimination (Luitel, 2001), and the life of women is horrible, especially in rural regions due to existing gender-based discrimination. This study analyses some of the best-known Nepalese proverbs and assesses their implications for the position of Nepalese women. The outcomes show that many Nepalese proverbs reflect a belief in the favorable position of men over women. This directs the researcher to conclude that the Nepalese proverbs are some of the main instruments employed to spread negative views towards Nepali women.
