Anima Ghimire, a student in Kathmandu, says, “I did not relate mental torture and restriction of mobility against women with violence. Now I do. Armed with that realization, I have begun to see the world I live in with different eyes. I have begun to see violence within my own family when once I thought all was normal. My uncle forbade any freedom to my aunt. I talked to him. He was furious with me for interfering in what he called his ‘private’ life. I was crestfallen. But I have realized that my intervention has resulted in my aunt securing a job and moving outside the house. This is a story of how change happens – slowly but surely.
