If only it were a game of hide and seek in Nepal....

While there are many great things I can say about Nepal, there is one unceasing conflict going on in the Nepali Region, and that is the rising number of "unlawful killings, disappearances, torture, and sexual violences." At least that's what the headlines of the newspapers read. Especially in the large cities, I would see the posters families put up- the ones that say MISSING: Please call with any info. It broke my heart to see the sad faces of the people taping the posters to poles and trees and anywhere else they could.

The reason for these offenses is most likely due to the fact that, again, Nepal lacks a stable central government and therefore an absence of enforcement and laws that protect Human Rights. The higher poverty levels may also play a role in the high amounts of crime in Nepal.

To prevent these crimes in the future, Nepal ultimately needs to educate more people to be police enforcement instead of farmers and agriculturalists and there needs to be raised awareness about these issues so help can be given to those in need.
