Summary
Sita Badi (born 1995) is a Nepalese politician from the Badi community, a historically marginalised and landless ethnic group in western Nepal. She is currently serving as the Minister of Women, Children, Gender and Sexual Minorities and Social Security under Prime Minister Balendra Shah since 14 May 2026, and previously held the portfolio of Minister of Women, Children and Senior Citizens from 27 March to 14 May 2026 before the ministry was restructured. She is the first member of the Badi community to serve as a federal minister in Nepal. Badi was elected to the Pratinidhi Sabha in the March 2026 general election from the Rastriya Swatantra Party's proportional representation list under the Dalit female cluster. Her rise from extreme poverty to the cabinet has been widely described as a landmark moment for Dalit and women's representation in Nepalese politics.
