Addressing Multiple Violences Against Indigenous Women In Nepal
November 25th is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Indigenous women face disproportionate rates of violence and discrimination due to their intersecting identities (woman and Indigenous) which have both been historically marginalized in society. Nepali activists explain their work to end violence against women in their country, and lay out next steps for continuing the work of women's liberation around the world.

Justice For Indigenous Women!
Violence against Indigenous women is a pervasive and multifaceted issue that includes physical, sexual, emotional, and economic abuse, often rooted in the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization, racism, and systemic inequality. Indigenous women face disproportionately high rates of violence, including intimate partner violence, human trafficking, and murder, frequently exacerbated by the lack of access to justice and inadequate responses from law enforcement.
Modern Day Slavery - Bonded Labor in Asia
Bonded labor, also known as debt bondage, remains a widespread form of modern slavery in parts of Asia, particularly in countries like India and Bangladesh. It typically occurs when individuals are forced to work to repay a debt under exploitative conditions, often with little or no wages and no clear end to their obligation. Entire families, including children, can be trapped in cycles of debt for generations, working in sectors like agriculture, textiles, and mining. Despite legal bans in many countries, weak enforcement and poverty continue to fuel this human rights violation.
