KATHMANDU: The government has intensified its efforts to combat gender-based violence (GBV). The Ministry of Women, Children, and Senior Citizens has launched an integrated service access project aimed at preventing and responding to GBV.

This initiative includes various programs, with project implementation units established in three municipalities: Dhankuta, Urlabari, and Mechinagar.

According to Minister for Women, Children, and Senior Citizens, Nawal Kishor Sah Sudi, the Ministry has also begun drafting the National Gender Audit Manual as part of its ongoing commitment to addressing GBV.

In the past four months, 74 survivors of GBV have been compensated under the GBV Elimination Fund (Operation) Regulations, 2067 BS, including 63 as per court verdicts.

The Ministry has also ensured the operation and management of the Mangala-Sahana Long-Term Rehabilitation Centre, providing safe rehabilitation for women and girls who have survived GBV.

Furthermore, the federal government has signed an agreement with the governments of Lumbini and Sudurpashchim provinces to implement the Women Upliftment Program.

As part of this initiative, Women’s, Children’s, and Senior Citizens’ Service Centers will be established in 15 police units across the Lumbini, Madhesh, and Sudurpashchim provinces.

Additionally, regional long-term rehabilitation centers will be constructed at three locations, as said by Minister Sudi.
