Justice Saranga Subedi said that due to poverty, lower social level, lack of education, lack of awareness, child marriage, polygamy, dowry system, witchcraft allegation, malpractices and superstitions, the violence against women (VAW) is in increasing trend. The involvement of relatives, family members, neighbor, friends and office colleague has been found in the violence against women. The rights activists have been accusing the political parties of protecting the perpetrators instead of making the campaign for violence against women successful. The perpetrators are getting impunity because of the political parties. Due to the lack of political commitment, the violence against women is increasing. Lack of effective law and its implementation, the cases of violence against women is increasing day by day. M
