Sexual harassment on buses is so apparently bad in Nepal, that a separate bus service has opened up to stop the harassment.
The chairman of the company behind the venture says the aim is to make women feel more comfortable and secure.
Four 17-seat vehicles will run on key routes in the city during rush hour.
Around a quarter of young women in Nepal have been subjected to sexual harassment on public transport, according to a 2013 World Bank survey.
All buses in Kathmandu have to designate a certain number of seats as “women-only” by law, but critics say the rule is poorly enforced.
Bharat Nepal, who chairs the Bagmati Transport Entrepreneurs Association behind the scheme, said it was designed to address the longstanding issue of sexual harassment, which is particularly problematic during peak hours.
The buses will run on Kathmandu’s busy Kalanki-Balkot route.
There is currently just one woman conductor across the company’s four vehicles but Mr Nepal says the aim is to eventually run the service with an all-female crew.
If I had to ask this sick nut a question, I would want to know if it was really worth it.

A man accused of sexually assaulting a victim Thursday was beaten by an acquaintance of the victim before the police even arrived.
William Mattson’s mugshot clearly shows the result of what happened to him early Thursday morning before officers with the Conway Police Department came to the scene around 12:57 a.m.
Police found the mangled Mattson, 52, at the Highway 905 residence with the victim claiming the sexual assault.
Investigators stopped short of saying who exactly beat Mattson, but said the person was “acting in defense for the victim.”
Mattson was then arrested and taken to the J. Reuben Long Detention Center.
A lawsuit has been filed against an Alabama middle school that accuses teachers and administrators of directing a girl to put herself into a dangerous situation in order to “catch” her predator in the act. Instead of protecting her, they abandoned her to be sexually assaulted.
The middle school allegedly tried to use a young student as “bait” for an older student who was suspected of being a sexual predator. After forcing the girl to lure him into the bathroom, the teacher in charge of this amateur (and highly illegal) sting operation left the school for the day, leaving the student with the boy who proceeded to rape her.
The boy’s threat of violence and sexual assault was not unknown to school staff. According to CNN:
“School administrators knew the student’s extensive history of sexual and violent misconduct and were alerted to the substantial risk he posed” to other students, according to the brief.
About a week before the alleged rape, Sparkman Middle School vice principals Jeanne Dunaway and Teresa Terrell received a complaint that the boy had touched a female student inappropriately and was assigned in-school suspension, according to federal attorneys. A few days later, June Simpson, a teacher’s aide at the Huntsville-area school, told the principal, Ronnie Blair, that the boy had “repeatedly tried to convince girls to have sex with him in the boys’ bathroom on the special needs students’ corridor” and had actually had sex with one student, according to the brief.
The school did nearly everything wrong upon learning that a girl was being continually sexually harassed by this boy. According to a lawsuit, rather than move immediately to put an end to the victimization, the girl’s teacher up an elaborate sting operation to “catch him in the act.” This involved asking the girl, who is described as having special needs, to lure her attacker into a school bathroom while her teacher watched from a distance. “Don’t do anything. Just get him to meet you and we’ll catch him,” the teacher allegedly instructed the student.
According to police records, the teacher even told school administration about her plan, and while they didn’t actively encourage it, they also didn’t tell her no.
Unfortunately, the terrible plan was even more poorly executed. The teacher said she watched the bathroom for a while during the agreed upon time, but didn’t see the girl or the boy enter so she simply shrugged and left school. Meanwhile, the girl had gone to a different bathroom and while in there, she was assaulted by the boy.
A doctor confirmed that the girl showed signs of having been raped, but the teacher felt no responsibility for what happened. The school even tried to defend itself by saying the student probably consented to the sex, despite the clear evidence that she had approached a teacher beforehand and asked for help.
Having been informed that the girl was assaulted, the school still did nothing. According to CNN, Dunaway testified that the girl “was responsible for herself once she entered the bathroom.” It was her fault because she put herself in that bathroom. The place, if you recall, she was only in because the teacher had told her to go there or the harassment wouldn’t stop.
Amazingly, not only did the “sting operation” backfire and lead to further victimization, the school didn’t see anything wrong with what had happened. The girl dropped out of the school and her family eventually moved out of the state, but the boy was hardly punished.
She was unable to give consent to the sexual act because of her mental state. A judge ruled that 78-year-old Donna Rayhons – wife of Iowa Republican Representative Henry Rayhons and who resided at an elderly care facility – lacked mental capacity to consent to sex but Henry apparently wasn’t listening.
According to Iowa Press-citizen’s reporting, Rep. Henry Rayhons, R-Garner, who represents House District 8, was charged with third-degree sexual abuse, a Class C felony.
The charge stems from an alleged incident the evening of May 23 at the Concord Care Center in Garner, authorities said.
Rayhons, 78, is accused of having sex with his wife, Donna, who did not have the mental capacity to consent, according to a criminal complaint.
The complaint said that Rayhons was told on May 15 that Donna Rayhons did not have the cognitive ability to give consent to any sexual activity. On May 23, Henry Rayhons went into his wife’s room and pulled the curtain closed, the complaint said. Donna Rayhon’s roommate told authorities that she “heard noises indicating to her that” Henry Rayhons was having sex with Donna Rayhons, the complaint said. Surveillance video showed Henry Rayhons leaving his wife’s room and discarding undergarments into a laundry bag, the complaint said.
In June, a Hancock County District Court judge issued an order that named Suzan Brunes, Donna Rayhons’ daughter, her mother’s temporary guardian, according to a story in the Mason City Globe Gazette.
Donna and Henry Rayhon were married in 2007.
Donna Rayhons, 78, died on Aug. 8.
Henry Rayhons was arrested today and taken to the Hancock County Jail.
An employee of the Hancock County Attorney’s Office on Friday said the case would be prosecuted by the state Attorney General’s Office. That office did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
You’d have to be a very sick individual to first rape someone, and even sicker and to a greater extent, dumber than most, to post the pictures and videos of the victim online.
Two teenage girls say it’s one thing to be the alleged victims of a sexual assault, but another to have pictures and videos taken while you’re passed out and then plastered across social media.
“She didn’t know what happened to her until this piece of vermin began to put pictures and videos online showing this young woman being victimized and abused,” said community activist Quanell X.
He says on June 1 two girls came over to a home on Chessington Drive in southwest Houston to hang out with two of their friends. The victims say they started drinking, blacked out and when they woke up they realized they had been raped.
The victims say over the next several days they found naked pictures, videos posted across different social media platforms.
Local 2 is not identifying either of the victims.
“I feel it’s really sad, I’m hurt, just being here knowing that happened to me and for it to be all over the place, it really hurts,” said one of the victims.
“This one particular address, this one particular house has been a haven for teenage pornographic material and nobody in law enforcement has done a damn thing about it to address this issue,” Quanell X said.
Houston police say there have been no arrests so far in this case and the investigation is ongoing.
No, this is not another story about Ariel Castro, this is a story about Isidro Garcia, who also kidnapped his victim, raped and impregnated her, and held captive for 10 years.
Isidro Garcia was arrested Tuesday after his alleged victim reached out to her sister on Facebook and revealed how she been held hostage in a relationship with the 41-year-old man and had given birth to his child during the decade she vanished.
Santa Ana police say the girl’s mother reported her missing in August 2004. The mother told police her daughter went missing, along with her live-in boyfriend, Garcia, after a domestic violence incident.
Detectives say the mother suspected Garcia was sexually abusing her daughter.
A former neighbor in the sprawling Villa del Sol apartment complex recalled speaking with the missing girl’s mother shortly before the alleged kidnapping.
“I spoke to her mom about God,” Silvia Suarez, 54, told The Times in Spanish. “She said she was having problems with her partner. She believed he was romancing her daughter.”
The mother also suspected that her partner was having a sexual relationship with her daughter and that they were making plans to leave together.
Araceli Ochoa, a leasing agent for the well-kept complex over more than 500 units, remembered speaking to the girl’s mother after the girl went missing.
She said the mother came to her office and was deeply worried and stressed.
“She couldn’t understand how her daughter could leave,” Ochoa said in Spanish. She also expressed relief that she had been located by police. “I am very excited that they found her but it’s still a tragedy that she has to live with every day now,” Ochoa said. “Each day with him probably felt like 100 years to her.”
The victim, now 25, revealed to authorities Tuesday how she was abducted in June 2004, when she was living with her mother and sisters in Santa Ana.
This world can be so cruel, and that’s an understatement.

Prosecutors charged former Wisconsin Assembly Majority Leader Bill Kramer on Friday with sexually assaulting a political aide three years ago following a Republican mixer.
Kramer is charged with two counts of second-degree felony sexual assault. He faces up to $200,000 in fines and 80 years in prison if convicted on both charges. He is due to make an initial court appearance on April 14.According to the criminal complaint, the woman told police earlier this month that Kramer shoved her against her car outside the mixer, tried to kiss her and groped her breasts. He also assaulted her in her car, telling her he wanted to have sex with her, kissing her and groping her, the woman said.
The complaint said Kramer gave different answers about the incident in a telephone interview with a detective this month.
He asked the detective if the woman was the same one who applied for a job in his office, said he had been friends with her and that she had made a pass at him in 2008. He acknowledged kissing her good night but denied groping her, telling the detective the woman “has very nice doctor-enhanced breasts. I am not a big fan of those. I like the real ones.”
Asked if the woman ever told him to stop, he replied, “I am sure she said something about it not going any further. That is why I went home. I am sure that happened, but I don’t remember it. I have been turned down a lot.”
Kramer’s attorney, James Gatzke, said the case will have to run its course.

Another head scratcher. These are the people in today’s Republican party.
So if rapers are the ones Representative Lawrence and advocates for, why would non rapers vote for this man. Why would anyone vote Republican anyway?
Democrats called for state Rep. Lawrence Lockman’s resignation after blogger Mike Tipping chronicled Lockman’s public stateme resignation nts since the 1980s in a blog post Tuesday.
Among other declarations and protestations concerning the IRS, HIV/AIDS and homosexuality, Lockman, then president of the Pro-Life Education Association, said in a letter sent in 1990 that he didn’t see why rape shouldn’t be acceptable if abortion is legal.
“If a woman has [the right to an abortion], why shouldn’t a man be free to use his superior strength to force himself on a woman?” Lockman wrote. “At least the rapist’s pursuit of sexual freedom doesn’t [in most cases] result in anyone’s death.”
Lockman released a statement Wednesday in which he said he regrets his comments.
