VAW incidents should not be politicized: Minister Jhakri

KATHMANDU, March 8: Minister for Urban Development, Ram Kumari Jhakri has stressed the need for reforming the law in order to end violence against women (VAW).

Stating that some cases of VAW have been politicized and the victims have not been able to get justice, Minister Jhakri said that such cases should only be discussed and be argued for and against in court.  

Speaking at a program organized on the occasion of the 122nd International Women’s Day on Tuesday, Minister Jhakri said that the law needs to be reformed, taking into account the fact that someone could become a victim while the other is exercising their rights. She also said that the effective implementation of the laws made in the constitutional bodies should be monitored.
