在尼泊尔，被贴上低种姓标签的人背负着双重负担，既无法获得资源，也无法获得讨论种姓问题的公共空间。2015年地震后，各种团体抓住机会，提高人们对解决种姓权利和歧视问题的认识，从而将种姓问题推到了国家议程上。定位在聚焦事件理论，我们试图了解群体如何可能利用尼泊尔2015年地震动员，以增加对种姓和灾害脆弱性的问题关注。为了确定这些领域的主题，我们回顾了地震后两年时间内尼泊尔和国际媒体发表的重要新闻文章。我们确定了几个主要主题的问题框架：吸取教训的机会，外部人士和高种姓作为“拯救”低种姓，灾害脆弱性与种姓。
People in Nepal labeled as low-caste carry the double burden of simultaneous denial of access to resources and to public space in which to discuss caste issues. Following the 2015 earthquake, issues regarding caste were pushed onto the national agenda through various groups seizing the window of opportunity to bring awareness to address issues related to caste rights and discrimination. Positioned in the Focusing Events Theory, we seek to understand how groups may have used the Nepal 2015 earthquake to mobilize to increase issue attention to caste and disaster vulnerability. To identify themes around these areas, we reviewed key news articles that were published in Nepalese and international media in the two-year time frame after the earthquake. We identified issue framing with several major themes: opportunities for lessons learned, outsiders and higher caste as “rescuing” lower caste, and disaster vulnerability linked to caste.
