Laxmi, a 13 year old, had been raped by her uncle. When she told her parents, she was beaten and thrown out of the house. Fortunately she was found by a kindly police officer. Laxmi’s parents refused to take her back and so he took the girl to an NGO who cared for her. No legal action was taken against the uncle.
Since 2005, Asha Nepal has 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. Some of the children we support come from such abused backgrounds, and our new Foster Home provides a respite for abused children.
