Women’s Rights – 2012

The State Restructuring Commission (SRC)¹ voted for granting special rights to women representing ethnic, indigenous, Dalit, Muslim and Madhesi communities on 24 January 2012. But the SRC recommendation was not implemented because the major parties did not go with the SRC recommendation. On top of that, the Constituent Assembly was dissolved on 28 May after its failure to promulgate a new constitution. Gender-related violence remained a serious issue.
