| Summary: | This note reports on the findings of a
recent study to assess social change in conflict areas of
Nepal. It looks specifically at the impact on hierarchical
relations based on gender, caste, and ethnicity. All parts
of society have been affected by positive, and negative
social changes. Most of the positive changes have not yet
become imbedded in the fabric of social relations, but are
enforced through coercion, and the threat of violence. The
challenge for development actors will be to capitalize on
these positive changes, and effectively address problems of
exclusion and social inequality. |
