Informal Sector Service Centre (INSEC) Sudur Paschim Province Office Dhangadi has provided financial assistance to a victim of domestic violence from Bardagoriya Rural Municipality-6, Jagatpur on December 20, 2021.
After the recommendation of Bardagoriya Rural Municipality-6 and Feminist Dalit Organization (FEDO), Kukuridevi Dagaura, 70, was provided NRs. 10,000 as support.
INSEC Sudur Paschim Province Coordinator Khadak Raj Joshi said that the victim was facing difficulties in getting justice as she could not even afford transportation due to the lack of funds. He said that the support was provided so that she would not be deprived of justice due to the general economic crisis.
The victim Dagoura said she married Jangali Dagoura, 71, of Bardagoriya Rural Municipality-6 in 2003 (2060BS). Her husband repeatedly beat her and deprived her of food and marriage registration. Later, she was evicted from the house after which she had been living alone in a small hut. But lately, Dagaura’s husband has not allowed her to live in the hut and has locked it.
Due to the financial crisis, the victim was unable to take legal steps against her husband. According to Bal Kumari Sunar, a member of the Feminist Dalit Organization, the woman urged the INSEC Sudur Paschim Provincial Office after receiving information that INSEC has been providing assistance to the victims of violence through the Human Rights Help Desk.
