When Dr. Kayo Devi Yami took over the leadership of the Public Service Commission (PSC), she shattered a massive glass ceiling in Nepali governance. Out of all the powerful, independent constitutional organs of the Government of Nepal—including the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA), the Election Commission, and the National Human Rights Commission—she became the very first woman in Nepal's history to head a constitutional commission.
