The civil war in Nepal ended in 2006 \u2013 but for Devi, a former rebel fighter, mother, and survivor of sexual violence, it never really ended. Almost 20 years later, she is still fighting for recognition for what was done to her and many other women during the war. Although the peace negotiations promised reconciliation and reappraisal, all measures taken so far have been aimed almost exclusively at men. Some perpetrators are now part of the government, and reliable figures on gender-based violence are still lacking. Marked by her own trauma and the silence of those in power, Devi finds new strength in sharing her experiences with women who have gone through similar things. She resolutely decides to make the invisible women of the war visible and demands justice from the government\u2014a process that is both healing and infuriating.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
