Urgency to rein in domestic violence in Nepal calls for concerted efforts

The global campaign commenced on November 25 (the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women ) and concluded on December 10 ( Human Rights Day ). The much-needed activism was organised even in Nepal to create public awareness against the growing incidences of violence against women including domestic violence.

But, ironically, Nepali society witnessed something really gruesome amidst that celebration.
