By 2008, full stability had not yet returned to Nepal despite the signing of a Comprehensive Peace Accord in 2006. The ten years of conflict worsened the situation for many vulnerable people – child labour and trafficking increased, for example, while birth registration rates fell. Many of the social disparities among castes and ethnicities that helped spark the conflict remain today, and women continue to face discrimination and chronic economic security. Despite the persistence of low quality services, many indicators are
now beginning to improve, notably in child mortality rates, poverty reduction, immunisation, sanitation and access to safe drinking water. But HIV remains a threat, and nutrition, gender equality and maternal health are not on course to achieve the Millennium Development Goals in 2015. School retention rates remain too low for girls, affected by poverty, closures, and fear of violence in some
areas.
