Sambridhi Foundation Nepal is a non profit organisation run by Sangita Shrestha with the aim of transforming the existing taboos and harmful social norms to ensure every child enjoys the right of freedom, security, and dignified life. The very organisation, conducted a silent demonstration today morning regarding the recent rape and murder case of an 18 months old girl child in Morang.

The event took place in front of the National Women Commission, Bhadrakali. Every participant in the event tied a black cloth around their mouth symbolising how women’s voices are being suppressed.

Leading the event, Bidhya Shrestha says, “The main reason to conduct this event is to get the attention of the government and National Women Commission as there was no valid hearing for the culprits; Mithun Chaudhary, 28 and Ajay Chaudhary, 25.”

“How helpless is the government that the culprit, Ajay, who was involved in the rape case almost 1 year ago, is not being punished accordingly? The government should make dimensional laws for rapists,” she adds.
