Tears kept falling from his eyes throughout the day on Tuesday. Tired of waiting for the day of justice, her 19-year-old daughter committed suicide on January 3, and she is not even able to speak openly.
During the crisis, the army who came on patrol gang-raped her in front of the entire village. After that, she got pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, and she was living in the whole village with the identity of a robbed woman.
"His only hope was his daughter," said Devi Khadka, the founder of Aparajit Foundation, a national network of women who have been sexually abused, "He has become very disappointed after that daughter committed suicide in the hope of getting justice." She was ready to file a complaint so that the injustice that had happened would be investigated . However, the news that the recommendation committee could not recommend the names of the commissioners due to political tussle came as a shock to him.
Devi tells that she finally committed suicide due to the humiliation she received in the village and the hope of getting justice. Even in such a situation, she and three other victims of violence like her, who did not hope for justice, were honored by the foundation on Tuesday as courageous women, and they all wept bitterly. Not only them, but also 71 other women victims of violence who came to the capital from different parts of the country were affected by the memory of the trauma in the past.
It was the last moment of the two-day conference of women who were victims of sexual violence who did not even get the victim's identity from the state . Agni Kharel, former Minister of Law and recently appointed Advisor on Transitional Justice by the Prime Minister, former Defense and Communications Minister Minendra Rizal, former Finance Minister Janardhan Sharma and former MP Radheshyam Adhikari, who were called to the stage to honor them, were also teary-eyed.
'You have a story that cannot be told and cannot be heard,' Kharel said, 'Injustice was done by the heinous violence against you during the conflict, more than that, injustice was done by the state without giving justice at the time, now we are engaged in discussion that this situation should end.' Kharel said that it was going on. He said, 'After the formation of the commission, the government will understand your complaints and punish the perpetrators and give justice to the victims.'
There was no provision in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Act to take complaints of sexually assaulted women . Against this, Devi organized women from all over the country and pressed for the amendment of the law. As a result, when the law is amended, a provision has been added that women who have been subjected to sexual violence can file a complaint within three months.
After seeing that it would be difficult to register the complaints of all the victims within the three-month limit, Aparajit Foundation started a campaign to collect complaints from all over the country . Khadka said that 800 complaints have already been collected and 2400 are yet to be collected. "We request that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission understand and take responsibility for the safety of these complaints," she said. There is a legal provision that complaints can be filed only after
commissioners are appointed. For that period, the commission's secretary Paraswar Dhungana has accepted the proposal of the victims to take those complaints and keep them safely in the commission. "The Commission has no objection to understand and protect these complaints," he said, "We are ready for this."
