A female soldier's goggles are covered with vapor after handling bodies of coronavirus victims in Kathmandu, Nepal, November 11, 2020. Nepal Army spokesman Shantosh B. Poudyal said the 95,000-strong force was putting women soldiers in new roles, part of a programme to empower them. “Women were deployed in combat duty, hospitals, ordnance, engineers and disasters before. This is the first time they are managing the bodies from hospitals and transporting them to the crematorium”, Poudyal told Reuters. “You can say it is breaking the borders ... breaking the glass ceiling”. Nepal's army is responsible for managing the bodies of coronavirus victims across the nation. (Photo by Navesh Chitrakar/Reuters)
