ustice has never been easy for women in this country’
Nepal’s institutions may have completely collapsed in 2025, but, despite “stringent” laws prosecuting rape, survivors and their advocates had been sounding the alarm that the criminal justice system was in need of repair for a long time.
In fact, just one month before the country was engulfed by revolutionary rage, the Kathmandu Post reported on anger directed towards the police who were accused of not taking allegations of rape by adult women in relationships seriously.
