Recent figures indicate that the majority of women in Nepal are physically abused by their partners. This includes forced sexual activities. Many children are also physically and/or sexually abused in the home environment. Many victims of sexual abuse, rape and sexual attack, rather than finding comfort and support from their families, are deemed to be guilty and/or unclean and are cast out onto the streets.

During 2005-06 in conjunction with our partner organisation Shakti Samuha, Asha Nepal widened its remit to support women and children who have been sexually and physically abused in the home as well as victims of rape and sexual abuse who are abandoned by their families.
