本文旨在探讨妇女在家庭中遭受基于性别的暴力（GBV）的现象，妇女采取的管理GBV的策略;卫生服务提供者（HSP）和执法人员支持GBV受害者的知识，态度和实践（KAP），并建议适当的政策和方案倡议，以打击GBV在尼泊尔。性别暴力是尼泊尔男子对妇女的态度问题。男子总是觉得自己比妇女优越上级，如果妇女不能理解他们的感情，不能采取相应行动取悦他们，不能履行生育和生产的职责，包括家务劳动，他们就会试图使妇女屈从，并实施暴力。尼泊尔三分之一（35%）的妇女在家中遭受基于性别的暴力，尽管大多数暴力行为在非正式或正式机构中没有报告和记录。心理暴力的发生率很高，其次是身体暴力、经济暴力和性暴力。暴力侵害妇女行为长期存在的主要原因是妇女教育程度低，结婚时嫁妆少，妇女对资源没有控制权，以及施暴者教育程度低。颁布一项法律，将基于性别的暴力行为的肇事者定为刑事犯罪，并制定和实施教育和培训方案，以减少基于性别的暴力行为，是该国的当务之急。
This article aims to explore the phenomenon of women experiencing gender-based violence (GBV) at home, strategies adopted by women to manage GBV; knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) among health service providers (HSPs) and law enforcers to support GBV victims and to recommend appropriate policy and program initiatives for combating GBV in Nepal. GBV is an attitudinal problem of men towards women in Nepal. Men always feel superior to women and try to keep them subservient and commit violence if women are not able to understand their sentiments and act accordingly for pleasing them and performing their reproductive and productive roles, including household chores. One-third (35 percent) of women in Nepal experience GBV at home, although most violence is unreported and unrecorded in informal or formal institutions. Psychological violence was found to be high, followed by physical, economic and sexual violence. The main reasons for perpetuating violence against women are the low educational status of women, bringing less dowry at the time of marriage, no control over resources by women and low educational status of the perpetuators. Promulgating a law to criminalize GBV perpetrators and the formulation and implementation of educational and training programs to reduce GBV are immediate needs of the country.
