Dear all, I took a lead role for Tri Chandra's sexual harassment case as mentor, counsellor, NGO facilitator when I worked in Action Works Nepal as Founder President. 2 years back few researchers' asked for the evidences but I had not have anything. Today, I found in my email which will provide partial evidence for it. I took screen shots and attached her for evidences. I also pasted the texts from same email.
Hope you have already aware about the sexual Harassment issue happened in Tri-Chandra Campus in August 2011.It is coming in the media in a way and another. The reality is totally twisted by some people, organizations and media.
In this connection, we have formed a `Sexual Harassment Response and Prevention Campaign' formed where victims and human right activists jointly work. On behalf of this campaign the following activities are taken place as mentioned below (brief summary);
1. August 28, 2011
Incident happened in Tri Chandra during exam hall 7-11 AM by two invigilators.
2. August 29, 2011
Reported to Tri-Chandra, asked for justice. But boys weren't allowed to enter the meeting, abused while discussing by assistant campus chief as well. Perpetrators also not invited at the name of mobile switch off. Later student union members also came and threatened. They said `went out promptly otherwise the firing (gun shut) would start'. Mean time, the groups of boys came with mask (Mukhma kalo patti baner). That was very terrible situation.
