According to the Women’s Rehabilitation Centre (WOREC) crimes against women, rapes and sexual exploitation are alarmingly on the rise. Nepal Police also reported a rise in violence against women in 2021. The WOREC report in 2021 says, “A total of 17,790 women and girls were raped in the last ten years and it has been found that cases of rape have been increasing every year by 20 per cent.” 

Nepal Police registered 144 cases of rape and 687 cases of attempts to rape in the last fiscal year. Likewise, a total of 1,221 women and girls were raped from March to August 2020. Data shows that seven women or girls are raped daily in Nepal on an average.

Over the years, Nepal has had major rape and violence cases that shocked everyone, leading to people coming out on the streets to protest. However, the cases are usually forgotten by the public until yet another major case is reported.
