Government To Take Actions Against Perpetrators of Violence Against Women
By KTM Metro Reporter
December 30, 2012: after a days of protests against the violence against women perpetrated by even the police and immigration officials at the Kathmandu International airport, the government officially apologized, and the prime minister ordered the security officials to take quick actions against the perpetrators of violence otherwise the prime minister would take actions against them.
It was fine that the government did a good job even belatedly ordering the security official to take actions against the perpetrators of violence against women but why the government decided to grant Rs 150,000 to the victim of the sexual violence and of losing everything she had earned in Saudi Arabia. Whether she would get back her lost honor in the society simply receiving the money from the government? The government should be serious about such sexual violence against women and bring the perpetrators of such violence to justice otherwise the government has no rights to stay in power.
According to a statement issued by the Office of the Prime Minister, the country’s executive head directed the Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) and Inspector General of Nepal Police to book the officials who allegedly robbed and raped the woman who returned home from Saudi Arabia, writes THE ONLINE.
Civil society activists have been staging a sit-in at the entrance to his Baluwatar official residence of the prime minister demanding to take actions against the police and immigration officials involved in robbing a woman and then raping her at the Kathmandu International Airport and other cases such as the death of a housemaid Saraswoti Subedi, and Chhori Maiya Maharjan mysteriously disappeared from Kathmandu on February 28, 2012 but not found so far.
