The number of victims of violence coming to the headquarters seeking justice has started to decrease. According to the statistics of short-term women's service center, this number is decreasing every year. But some of the incidents are not public, they come as accidents and come back after treatment.

A short-term service center for victims of violence has been operating in Baglung since 2067. Free medical treatment, legal aid and rehabilitation are provided to the victims through this center. According to Rachna Acharya, Head of Baglung Municipality Women and Children Branch, 76 victims of violence in Baglung in the current year have sought justice through the center. The figure has decreased compared to the previous year . 

In the last fiscal year, 92 people arrived at the center . The year before that, 99 cases came for justice. Among the cases that came this year, there are 9 cases of physical violence, 13 cases of mental violence, 8 cases of financial violence, 10 cases of sexual violence and 33 others. Acharya said that the District Legal Aid Committee supported them in their legal treatment. Dalit community has the highest number of 36 cases of violence. Apart from that, there are 20 people from tribal community and 20 people from other groups .  The Deputy Chief of Jaimini Municipality, Harihar Sharma, said that the number of

s has increased due to the increase in public awareness, the judicial committee and the effective work of reconciliation centers at the municipal level. But the critics said that recently the form of violence has changed and they have not come to the complaint. He also said that some incidents of violence took the form of suicide.

According to police data, 49 people have committed suicide in the current year. In addition, 19 human rights violations have also occurred. Lakshmi GC Karki, President of Human Rights Organization Baglung said that the data may have decreased due to lack of detailed study.

Lately, school girls have started being subjected to violence, schools are not gender-friendly in the study  Raju Khadka, Deputy Chief of Baglung Municipality said. "Incidents have not come out, some incidents have been hidden," he said, "a public awareness campaign will be launched to end the trend of hiding violence." For the operation of the

center, the federal government has invested 500,000, the provincial social development ministry has invested 600,000 and the Baglung municipality has invested 1400,000. 25 victims of Baglung municipality have taken the service here and the rest are from across the district and outside. Victims outside the district are cases recommended by the district police.
