Violence against women: Why a rise in the number of complaints is not a problem in Nepal

Today is November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women . This day also marks the beginning of the 16 days of Activism against Gender-based Violence that lasts till December 10.

On the very occasion, Onlinekhabar recently talked with Nepal Police Inspector Anu Lama, the chief of Women, Children and Senior Citizen Service Center (WCSC) of Nepal Police, formerly known as Women Cell, that was established in 1996 ‘to combat all forms of inhumane acts against women, children and senior citizens’ to review the overall status of violence against women in the country and police efforts to minimise them.
