The District Traffic Police Office, Banke, has launched a campaign to take action if words that are derogatory, offensive or hurtful to women are found written on public and private vehicles.
According to Chief Police Inspector Kanak Bahadur Shahi of the District Traffic Police Office, unnatural and obscene words written on vehicles can distract the driver and increase the risk of accidents. Therefore, the traffic police has said that the work of removing various obscene or insulting words has been started.
Under the special awareness and monitoring campaign conducted by the District Traffic Police, action has been taken against 50 vehicles so far in the past 20 days.
According to In-charge Shahi, the offensive words written on both public and private vehicles will be continuously monitored. 'If words that insult, belittle or are inappropriate for women are found, the work of deleting those words and taking necessary action is being done,' he said.
The District Traffic Police has started this campaign after receiving complaints of verbal violence against women in the Nepal government's Hello Government. The main objective of the campaign is to reduce violence against women through words and control traffic accidents, said In-charge Shahi.
'Violence against women is not only physical, but also verbal. "It is our responsibility to stop it," he added. The traffic police have said they will continue such campaigns in the coming days.
