“If acid attack or burning women alive is a gender issue triggered by- male honor, rejection, dowry, and many more………..what is the role of the Government, NGOs Media and us being responsible citizens to stop this hideous act?”

Though the rights of women, rights of equality, right to social justice, etc.  are mentioned in the Interim Constitution 2063 of Nepal, in practice these rights are not always respected.

There is a proverb” Little thieves are hanged by the neck and great thieves by the purse.’’ In Nepal’s context, it suits a lot. The first and the main cause of violence is the dishonesty of the law, misuse of the power and so on. Besides this the other causes of women violence are;

Poverty, lack of education, lack of awareness, superstitions patriarchal society, the over-whelming desire of son, conservative mind set relating to the norms and values towards religions and cultures, economic dependency on males, lack of self confidence, early marriage and lack of humanity and mankind due to industrialization  and so on.
