Abstract

The study investigates how Nepali women face cultural and societal obstacles while they study abroad for their higher education. The study examines how these women navigate new educational and social environments while facing both traditional gender roles and societal expectations from their home culture. The research investigates three main issues, which include how people from both countries establish their identities and adapt to new cultures while facing gender bias. The research investigates how people develop new social connections and change their professional and personal objectives. The research shows that international education provides Nepali women with a powerful means to achieve personal growth, which brings them the ability to defy established social customs. The research provides evidence which helps create better policies for gender issues and international student mobility.
