The National Human Rights Commission submitting its annual report to Nepal President Bidhya Devi Bhandari today reported the country’s poor human rights situation this year.

Submitting the report of fiscal 2019-20, NHRC’s Secretary Bed Prasad Bhattarai stated that the existing caste-based discrimination, challenges to the right to life, lack of access to health and education, among other indicators, were depriving people of fundamental rights.

The report further states labour exploitation of foreign employees and increasing violence against women and children were contributing to degradation of quality of life.
