Never-ending road to justice

Due to the prevailing impunity, and in the absence of political will, the process has been derailed systematically.

Nepal marked 14 years of the Comprehensive Peace Accord on November 21, 2020. One of the major components of the peace process is the need for a logical end to the transitional justice process. However, in the absence of political will and prevailing impunity, the process was derailed systematically. It is imperative to create a system that protects the people who have suffered the most from the gross human rights violations at the time of the Maoist conflict, especially the women who faced sexual violence throughout the period of the peace process. However, Nepal has failed to protect these individuals in terms of many aspects: legal, physical, psychological, economic and socio-cultural, whereas women deserve the quality of life to live in every aspect.
