Different organizations and women human right activists are continuously struggling to raise their voices to end violence against women. However, due to the indifference of the government, brutal cases of violence against women keep occurring .The recently publicized case of Taplejung district, where a woman who files rape complaint against her is being raped by a cop again in police custody. Besides that, a teacher who had been teaching for a long time is accused of raping his student.

We would like to welcome you to new issue of Advocacy Update which highlights the events that took place from January to April 2013.

The year 2069 B.S witnessed brutal cases of violence against women (VAW). With relentless struggle of women organizations,the situation of VAW is increasingly surfacing out in the public. However, it is still difficult for survivors to get support, justice and a conducive environment to raise their issues. Recent publicized cases of Rajkumari Rana ,Sanu Kanchi who were charged with witchcraft, and the gang rape of 21-year- old woman can be taken as examples among others. These issues have to be immediately addressed.
"Violence Against Women needs speedy justice and political prioritization"
Violence against women is a pervasive problem in Nepal. However access to justice is becoming merely a dream inspite of the commitment from the State together with support both internationally and nationally. Failure to implement a proper monitoring and implementation system by the Government of Nepal, it has become very difficult for survivors to get support, justice and a conducive environment.
