On July 21, 2023, workshop on the Role of Responsible local bodies in the implementation of laws and policies reducing violence against Indigenous women was organized in Nepalgunj, at Hotel City Palace to address the pressing issue of violence against Indigenous women in the Nepalgunj. The workshop aimed to discuss the implementation of existing laws and policies and identify potential areas for improvement to better protect the rights and safety of Indigenous women. This workshop is part of Kaggapay- Legal and Psychological Counselling for Feminist Resilience in the Face of Covid-19, Phase II, funded by WFA. The session started with the existing overview of CEDAW, the existing law, and policies, relevant to the violence against women, especially focusing on the challenges that Indigenous women face. Likewise, CEDAW and the recently released GR-39 of the CEDAW committee were discussed among the participants. Psychologist, Ms. Sita Lama discussed the importance of mental health and the need to focus on the mental health of especially women who have been through any form of violence as it will have a profound and lasting impact on their psychological well-being. Domestic violence is a traumatic and highly distressing experience that can result in severe emotional, psychological, and physical consequences for the victim, explained the psychologist. The participants showed interest and raised questions regarding the issues. Participants engaged in the collaborative discussion to highlight the situation of indigenous women facing violence in different forms. The police officer from the women's cell briefed the participants on the procedure to file the case and informed the process was free of charge. The women's cell will soon be operating the Dalit Cell, informed the officer. The local ward representative encouraged the women participants to discuss their issues in this forum. The vice mayor of the Nepalgunj sub-metropolitan showed commitment to facilitating the women in the legal processing and help in the monetary form to an extent. There was an acknowledgment that while there have been significant strides in addressing gender-based violence; there were still gaps in effective enforcement and awareness. The workshop provided the platform for constructive discussion among the local responsible authorities, and various stakeholders, fostering a commitment to address the pressing issues of violence against Indigenous women. By implementing the recommendation generate during the workshop, it is hoped that significant progress will be made in safeguarding the rights and well-being of Indigenous women and creating a safer and more equitable society for all.
