Stakeholders have demanded that the rights and rights and empowerment programs provided by the constitution for the Dalit community should be implemented as soon as possible by enacting laws. Even though the constitution and laws consider caste discrimination and untouchability as crimes, even now injustice is being done by the Dalit community within the Singh Darbar and even from the Singh Darbar, the speakers said.

After a long struggle, the speakers drew the attention of the government to the issues that the constitution has addressed to some extent regarding the rights of the Dalit community, but the government has not implemented the issues stipulated by the constitution even for ten years.

In the context of the 115th International Women's Day, the Dalit Women's Association (FEDO) held a discussion on 'Violence against Dalit women and girls and its impact' in Kathmandu on Wednesday. Addressing the demands of the stakeholders in the

discussion, Minister for Women, Children and Senior Citizens Navalkishore Shah Sudi said that there is a need to implement the constitutional rights of the Dalit community by making laws. He expressed his displeasure over the fact that Articles 24 and 40 of the Constitution ensure the rights of the Dalit community and have not been implemented for so long. "It's not that nothing has happened about the Dalit community, it may not have happened before 2072, but the new constitution has given a lot to the Dalit community, it has to be implemented by making laws," he said, "but the government should not delay in ensuring those rights by making laws."

Chairman of the National Dalit Commission, Devraj Bishwakarma, alleged that caste discrimination and violence are still going on within the Singh Darbar and from the Singh Darbar. He said that the government is thinking of discriminating against the Dalit community in policy program and budget making and law making and that is why the Dalit community has not been relatively uplifted as a result. Dalits have started to appear in the rooms of Singha Durbar. There they also have to endure discrimination. Even now injustice is being done to Dalits from Singha Durbar,' he said.

He complained that although the commission has repeatedly recommended the government to implement the current constitutional provisions obtained after a long struggle, the government is not interested in the implementation. 

Kamala Parajuli, Chairperson of the National Women's Commission, said that the state should take into account the fact that Dalit women are the most discriminated against women and within the Dalit community. "The number of women victims of violence has not decreased". Even now, various incidents of violence are being made public. There are many Dalit women and Dalit girls among the victims of violence,' she said.

The founding president of Dalit Mahila Sangh, Durga Sow, said that discrimination against Dalit women is still continuing. There is caste discrimination against Dalit women in the name of being Dalit. In the name of being women, there is another discrimination against them, violence is being done,' she said, 'Until Dalit women are made powerful, they will continue to be the target of rape, murder and violence.'

She said that the Dalit community should report that even though the constitution provides for rights and entitlements, its implementation is weak. In the

program, Tilak Vishwakarma, Vice-Professor of Tribhuvan University, presented a paper on the incidents of violence and its impact on Dalit women and girls. According to him, on the whole, Dalit women are experiencing the violence that all women face, and Dalit women and girls are comparatively more among the victims of such violence. 

According to the data of Nepal Police, the total number of Dalit women who are victims of violence is 11.54 percent. The number of Dalit girl victims of violence is 19.44 percent. 11.34 percent of the cases recorded in the National Commission for Women are related to Dalit women. According to some records of Nepal, the number of Dalit women among the victims of violence is 27 percent.
