Continue to urge the Governments of Nepal and Bhutan to resolve the situation of protracted camp populations; provide international protection and assistance to Bhutanese refugees; implement UNHCR policies related to human rights, protection of refugee women and children and the prevention of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV); protect and assist newly arrived Tibetans in transit in Nepal; provide protection, assistance and refugee status determination (RSD) to asylum-seekers of other nationalities.
Impact:
• Protection and assistance were provided to some 105,000 Bhutanese refugees in seven camps located in Jhapa and Morang districts in eastern Nepal.
• Women’s participation in the camp management committees increased to over 40 per cent with the introduction of new election procedures and women’s leadership training.
• Efforts to prevent and respond to SGBV were strengthened; awareness of SGBV was increased; increased reporting of incidents of SGBV resulted in an improved judicial response at district level.
• UNHCR assisted over 2,300 Tibetans and facilitated onward travel to a third country.
• Two hundred and twenty-one urban asylum seekers and refugees of various nationalities were assisted.
