Do you believe in a world free of violence? You can help make that dream a reality by joining the Raising Peace Campaign in Nepal. This campaign is designed to raise awareness about the ongoing violence against women and girls in Nepali society and to empower local communities to take action. About the Campaign In Nepal, violence against women and girls remains a serious and often hidden problem. It is reported that one-third of married women face emotional, physical, or sexual violence from their spouses. Beyond this, thousands of girls and women are trafficked into forced labor or prostitution each year. Around 5,000 to 12,000 girls aged 10 to 20 are trafficked annually, with 75% of them being under 18 years old. Sadly, many of these women are forced into prostitution. There are many forms of violence that women and girls face in Nepal, including: • Sexual abuse, incest, and rape, often committed by family members. • Trafficking and forced prostitution. • Neglect that can even lead to death. • Feticide and infanticide are often due to gender preference. • Dowry demands and wife abuse. This campaign will educate the community on human rights and violence against women, empowering them to make a stand for change. What Makes This Campaign Special? 1. Powerful Awareness Campaigns: The campaign will deliver strong messages of empowerment, such as "Say ’NO’ to Violence against Women through public drama performances." These performances will draw attention to the issue and spark conversation. 2. Interactive Public Forums: We will organize open forums in public spaces where community members can interact and discuss women’s violence, its problems, and its solutions. This space will allow open dialogue and learning and empower everyone to take action. 3. Education and Empowerment: We aim to educate both men and women about women’s rights and help them understand how to implement these rights in their daily lives. We can foster lasting change by bringing human rights education directly to the community. Objectives of the Campaign • Raise Awareness: Spread awareness in the local community about violence against women and its damaging effects. • Promote Women’s Rights: Educate people about women’s rights and how to implement and protect them at the local level actively. • Empower the Community: Engage local leaders, teachers, women’s groups, and teenage girls to spread peace and equality.
