UN Special Rapporteur is pushing the Nepalese Government to eliminate gender-based violence

Bahini would like to applaud the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, Dubravka Šimonović, for investigating and pushing for justice to ensure elimination of gender-based violence and harmful practices against women in Nepal. Let's hope we can see a change coming out of this.
