Muna Shreshta, 20, from Kathmandu says change in Nepal has been needed for a long time.

She is among the large crowd of people protesting outside the federal parliament building.

Corruption has been a long-term issue, she says, adding that it is "high time our nation, our prime minister, and anyone in power changes, because we need to change".

"It has happened now and we are more than happy to witness this and fight for this," she says. "I hope this change will bring something that it positive to us."

Shreshta thinks taxes paid by working people need to be used in ways that will help the country grow.

She adds that an important problem the country is facing is that young people are going abroad, seeking a better future.

"If we can make our country better, our youth can stay here," she says.
