Paper long abstract:

In the context of Nepal, Armed Conflict was there for 10 years long period of Peoples war by the Maoist. They started the conflict in 1996 and peace process started on 2006 June only. Due to fight every where and in every place women and children were more affected so the violence against women and children in armed conflict situations was one of the most massive scale violations of human rights in terms of atrocities and number of persons affected. It is only now that these war crimes against women and children are being known mainly because the women victims have decided to come out and tell the stories which they have tried to forget. The insurgency and counter-insurgency drives have had more negative impact on children and women. Children are the innocent in the all form of war. In Nepal more then 700 children have lost their life during the 10 years long armed conflict due to the explosive devices, killed by bullet etc. The cases of child marriage, girls trafficking, rape, torture etc are increasing everyday due to conflict. During armed conflicts, children and women also faced a heightened risk of rape, sexual humiliation, prostitution and other forms of gender-based violence, AUNICEF in 2009 has noted that 90% of deaths during conflicts were civilians and 80% were women and children.
