Justice is a far cry from reality for sexual violence survivors of the Nepal civil war

Ms T (name changed) had only turned 16 when Nepal Army arrested her. She had spent two years in the Maoist People’s Liberation Army and was returning home when the government-side army took her to the Ghorahi barracks and committed sexual violence.

“They held me captive for three months,” she says. “I feel numb when I think about what I faced at the army camp.”
