Failed to provide protection

Despite ratifying the declaration, Nepal had failed to abide by Article 4-c which asserts the clear obligation of states to:

"Exercise due diligence to prevent, investigate and, in accordance with national legislation, punish acts of violence against women, whether those acts are perpetrated by the State or by private persons."[2]
