Review Quotes
Journal of Economic Literature
"Addresses the importance of understanding the deep structural roots of sexual violence and impunity in Nepal, in the interstices of Nepal’s colonial and postcolonial past, highlighting the dynamics of activism as well as the structural, institutional, and political forces that resist change."
Survival
"This collection of essays is part of a series of books on a subject that some believe is too often overlooked: sexual violence in South Asia. Focusing on Nepal, the authors argue that the country’s own ‘feudal patriarchal structures’, in addition to post-colonial influences from the wider subcontinent, have enabled widespread sexual violence."
