Justice Elusive for Survivors of Rape and Violence in Remote Dolpa
The National Penal Code (2017) has provisions stating that after the commission of an offense related to rape, no one should, by any means of fear, intimidation, threat, or coercion, with or without any exchange of goods or money, persuade the victim or the victim's family to refrain from filing a complaint, lodging a report, or appearing in court. Furthermore, it prohibits arranging or pressuring for or influencing any reconciliation or settlement between the perpetrator and the victim or a member of the victim's family. However, despite these legal provisions, incidents of rape and violence against women continue to occur in geographically remote Dolpa, and the aforementioned incident is an example of such cases being settled out of court against the law.

आप्रवासीलाई मताधिकार : सरकारको तयारी नै कमजोर
सर्वोच्च अदालतका तत्कालीन न्यायाधीश सपना प्रधान मल्ल र पुरुषोत्तम भण्डारीको संयुक्त इजलासले चैत ७, २०७४ मा विदेशमा रहेका नेपालीलाई विदेशबाटै मतदानको अधिकार सुनिश्चित गर्न निर्देशनात्मक आदेश दिएको थियो । सर्वोच्चले यसका लागि आवश्यक पर्ने कानुन निर्माण गर्न सरकारलाई भनेको थियो । त्यो आदेशपछि देशमा स्थानीय तह, प्रदेश र संघको चुनाव भइसकेको छ । तर, अहिलेसम्म सर्वोच्चको उक्त आदेश कार्यान्वयन हुन सकेको छैन । सरकारले आगामी चुनावमा आदेश कार्यान्वयन गर्ने गरी काम पनि खासै अघि बढाएको छैन ।

Girls From the Freed Haliya-Kamaiya Community in Peril of Exploitation and Trafficking
Known as Khuna Basti, the individuals from the Haliya community residing here sustain their families and manage household expenses primarily through wage labor. Thirty families, totaling 251 individuals, reside in thirty shelters here. While there are 124 women in this settlement, the number of adolescents appears to be low. Guardians report that most adolescents from these families have gone to India to earn an income. Although parents say they have gone to earn a living, the adolescent girls who have gone to India are found to be at risk of human trafficking and exploitation. Due to the weak financial condition of the household and the difficulty of even making ends meet, it has been found that in some cases, the parents themselves have sold their children. Pooja (name changed) is a victim of this.
