violence against women<\/a> resulting in rapes, murders and other illicit activities, the Minister said that this is because of insane people and degenerate mentality.<\/p>\n\u201cThe government has not gone insane. Not all Nepalis are insane. Thus, incidents of rape and murder will go down gradually,\u201d added the Minister.<\/p>\n
The government\u2019s announcement to ban online pornography has come at a time when the whole country is facing heat waves of protests at all levels over rape and murder of a 13-yr-old school girl named Nirmala Pant from far west Nepal in the month of July 2018.<\/p>\n
#JusticeForNirmala has been trending in Nepal in support of protesters demanding justice for Nirmala\u2019s family who had earlier publicly appealed for justice.<\/p>\n
Adding to the heat arrived another incident that involved rape and killing of another 10-yr-old school girl in September 2018, followed by acid attack on two other teen-sisters Samjhana and Sushmita Das.<\/p>\n
Reaction to Ban
\n<\/strong>Responding on the ban of online pornography, Shubha Kayastha of the Internet Society Nepal, says, “It is merely a diversionary tactic to hide the government’s incompetence in prosecuting rapists.”<\/p>\nKayastha is doubtful if the government\u2019s move would be able to curb such illicit acts again women and girls.<\/p>\n
Kayastha suggests that better approach to address sexual violence would rather be empowering people and take necessary strict measures against the accused.<\/p>\n
“Instead of censoring materials on the internet, the government should direct its attention towards ending impunity instead of trying to find quick-fixes,” says Kayastha<\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nNow, it\u2019s time for the public to voice their opinions on the proposed move!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
