Mangalsen's Nirmala (name changed) is 38 years old. He has 3 daughters and two sons. She works day and night for the education and upbringing of her children. Her husband, who occasionally goes to work in India, has been here for a year. But instead of helping Nirmala, he made her suffer more by drinking.
When her husband started beating her every day and misbehaving with her daughter, she repeatedly went to the police to file a complaint. But they did not get justice. Now it is not possible for husband and daughter to live in the same house. I got my eldest daughter married at the age of 17 after she started beating and using obscene words. Miley's daughter went to Bombay three days ago saying that she could not stay at home,' she said. I feel very scared at night.'
After being physically and mentally tortured many times, he complains that he did not get justice even when he complained to the police. "The police sent me home asking them to live together," she said. They didn't even listen to that.' Even in Achham, other agencies from the local level are conducting programs under this campaign. But Nirmala is oblivious to this. Where can women like me who have suffered by going to such places speak? There is no news because she cannot speak," she said.
Kamalbazar-5's Meena (name changed) is also suffering like Nirmala. After the old man tried to set the body on fire, he managed to survive but the right side of the body was burnt by fire. She is under stress after her husband starts beating her every day after drinking alcohol. She has approached the police more than 5 times in 1 year. She even reached the local judicial committee. But they have not got justice. "If we file a complaint with the police, they will send us a message saying that we have to settle," she said, "There is no one to understand our problem." What is Day Campaign? We don't even know that.'
According to Achham police, 129 domestic violence complaints have been registered in Achham in three financial years. There have been 39 cases in the financial year 2078/79, 53 in 2079/80 and 37 in 2080/81 so far. 107 complaints were settled and only 22 cases went to court process. "Many don't want to go to court," said a police officer, "this number shows the terrible situation of domestic violence." He says that such incidents have not come out yet due to the fear of defamation in the society.
