According to the concluding observations and recommendations provided in Nepal's seventh periodic report - 2025, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women expressed concern that 72 percent of women who experienced violence were unable to legitimize violence due to discriminatory social norms and lack of information about their rights, available treatments, and specialized services.

According to the Nepal Police's annual fact sheet on gender-based violence for the fiscal year 2080/081, 52 cases of child marriage, 31 of illegal abortion, 29 of caste-based untouchability, 23 of witchcraft allegations, and 16,416 of domestic violence were registered. The number of such complaints alone makes it clear that our society is not aware of the reality.

In Nepali society, incidents that make victims of violence even more victims are always hidden - such as constant accusations, misinterpretations, and family or social exclusion. Behaviors and problems such as losing respect if someone finds out are deeply rooted in Nepali society. Victims also fear that confidentiality will not be maintained when taking problems to the judicial committee, police office, court, or National Women's Commission. Complaints of violence are not being filed due to the social environment where the victim is more afraid of the perpetrator.

In some cases of sexual abuse, trafficking and trafficking, domestic violence, child marriage, etc., even when family members or close relatives are involved, the incident is suppressed. The perpetrator does not dare to file a complaint against his relatives and family members, nor does he have the support and assistance of his family. In this way, not raising his voice against the perpetrator increases their self-confidence and increases the incidence of violence, abuse, and crime. In the event of a

, most of the incidents are suppressed due to the constant dominance of the victim's family members over the victim's family members, the tendency to steal their identity under the pretext of normal support, and the tendency to threaten, threaten, or entice them to keep it a secret. If confidentiality is not maintained, victims are forced to live as victims even more. Because of the fear of being killed if confidentiality is not maintained, causing pain to family members or retaliation for it, some victims are forced to live as victims. Because they are unable to raise their voice against the violence they have suffered and bring the perpetrator to justice, some victims have become mentally stressed or even choose the wrong path like suicide because they are unable to bear it.

Contrary to our social values ​​and norms, the tendency to stay in secret relationships is growing. Even if for some reason, they are subjected to violence while in a relationship, they do not want to take the risk of filing a complaint due to the fear of their relatives finding out, breaching their confidentiality, or getting into trouble. They do not try to seek justice through complaints due to the fear of being excluded if the family finds out, the fear of the recorded activities during the relationship being leaked, and the threats shown by the perpetrator.

Some victims do not even participate in the judicial process because they do not know where to file a complaint? Why to file a complaint? How to file a complaint? What will happen if you do not file a complaint? Due to ignorance of the process and the consequences, victims of violence suffer silently without retaliating.

The leaders of society, i.e. those in political leadership positions, are working hard to pressure the victim and free the perpetrator. Incidents of violence also become a political agenda by isolating the victim and his family. Even after filing a complaint and being imprisoned, the perpetrator's family continues to try to get him released through political influence. When the perpetrator is released on bail or after serving a prison sentence or after receiving a pardon for the prescribed sentence, he is welcomed back into society with respect by carrying out a procession with flowers and garlands as if he has done a good deed. Even with such negative practices, victims do not dare to file a complaint.

Citizens have not been able to fully trust the judicial system. Since the judicial process is very complicated, time-consuming, expensive and has to be repeated repeatedly, the victim is in a situation where he has to become even more of a victim. The saying 'complain now, get justice later' has even been created in society. Victims who are unaware of the complaint body and process and have no hope of getting justice continue to endure violence in silence.

Victims of domestic violence are forced to live in the same house with the perpetrator. Victims (mostly women) who have no choice but to leave their families behind when they have to file a complaint against the perpetrator are forced to live with violence. At the same time, they are forced to endure it, even for the sake of their children's future. Since they are left alone in the family, the process of action against violence and abuse cannot proceed even if they do not have family support.

It is also common for incidents of violence to be kept hidden due to insensitive behavior such as abusing the victim through social media, making favorable interpretations, violating the victim's privacy, and causing mental and emotional harm. Victims are also afraid to raise their voice for justice due to unnecessary criticism, mental stress, and negative views from family and relatives after incidents of violence and abuse in the workplace are made public.
