Protection Thematic Report ( 30.07.2015 )
Abstract:
Highlights: 1. Indigenous ethnic groups and low-caste groups such as Dalits tend to live away from easy-to-access settlements, and are traditionally marginalised. 2. Trafficking of women and children for sexual or labour exploitation is a long-standing problem. 3. Nepali society is patriarchal, so gender discrimination is present – and often accepted as the norm in many aspects of life. Women from marginalised caste and ethnic groups face even greater challenges.
