Nepal, because it was never directly colonized, is seen as
something of an outlier on the subcontinent, but the country could
not remain totally immune to the influence of colonialism in its
neighborhood. A Difficult Transition shows that, in addition to
home-grown feudal patriarchal structures, it is the larger colonial
and postcolonial context of the subcontinent that has enabled the
structuring of inequalities and power relations in Nepal, which
today allow for widespread sexual violence and impunity. Recent
years have seen an increase in public discussion about sexual
violence in Nepal, and the state has created legislation and action
plans to address the problem. And yet, impunity for perpetrators
remains intact and justice elusive. What are the structures that
enable such impunity? And what can be done to change and radically
transform these structures? How must states understand the search
for justice for victims of sexual violence? Part of the Zubaan
Series on Sexual Violence and Impunity in South Asia, the essays in
this volume attempt to trace a history of sexual violence in Nepal,
look at the responses of women's groups and society at large, and
suggest how this serious and wide-ranging problem may be addressed.
