| description | Nepal is one of the South Asian country which have many social and cultural
condition that leads to rape such as high rates of illiteracy and unemployment, poor
economy condition, masculinity power, sexual frustration and so on. Further, institutional
organizations such as school and colleges pays less attention and rarely try to bring this
topic into discussion. Sometimes, the victims are even forced to marry the rapist in order to
handle the situation. The purpose of this study is to educate adolescents about their sex
rights, explore different myths regarding rape and encourage youth to raise voice against
any kind of sexual violence. This research is based on both qualitative and quantitative
data. Structured questionnaires are used for data analysis. Surveys were conducted in two
renowned schools in Kathmandu, Nepal. The total number of participants of the study was
278. This study presents that the female and male perspective regarding the causes of rape
is quite different. The male students think that sexual frustration, status of women, and
poverty are the major causes of the rape. On the other hand, the female perspective shows
that beside sexual frustration, which comes first, masculinity power and social and cultural
conditions are the major causes of the rape. Both female and male students want the
perpetrator to be punished, however 19% of male students agree with no punishment after
marrying the victim. |
