Devi and the thousands of women who are now a part of the organisation formed to support rape survivors called The Undefeated / Aparjit still have a huge mountain to climb in terms of recognition, justice and reparations for the crimes against them. Even a small amount of funding can go a long way to help. Devi has shown an extraordinary ability to organise. She’s continued travelling across the country, building groups, organising health camps, consolidating data and the voices of more survivors.
Key Impact Stepping Stones - please do contact us for more details
1. Since 2020- Arranging meetings between Devi and international change-makers in Nepal who put pressure on government to listen to her demand for a change in the law.
2. 2022/ 2023 - Bringing Nepal back into the global CRSV discussions.
3. Providing global expertise and local support system needed to enable the survivors to set up Aparjit - The Undefeated to support Devi and the thousands of women who have sought her help.
4. August 2024 - the change in the transitional justice law Devi has been seeking is passed in Nepal. The law, for the first time, recognises wartime sexual violence survivors and paves way for justice and reparation. Earlier drafts of the law had erased them.
5. In recent months - we have been screening the film across Nepal as a catalyst for conversation on CRSV, leading to at least 1000 women coming forward to register their testimonies. Providing expert trauma therapist at screenings wherever possible.
6. Raising international press attention to the ongoing plight of Devi and women like her in order to make sure the law change has real impact.
7. Now - sharing Devi’s learnings and lessons with women around the world in screenings with change-makers in current and post-conflict countries as well as the leaders of the global western organisations and governments.
