Local Brew's Niche Value
Nepal has been endowed with indigenous traditional knowledge in different areas of life owing to its diverse topographies, cultures, ethnicities and climate. Indigenous knowledge and skills have helped the people overcome various natural disasters and societal problems that have threatened their survival. However, protecting and promoting such local knowledge has been a big challenge as the currents of modernisation have hit almost all segments of people and their occupations. Big multinational companies are smart enough to claim their patent for the indigenous knowledge and products for their commercial benefits as seen in the case of Basmati rice and turmeric. Currently, many people have called for legalising the production of home-made liquor. Indigenous communities have asserted that they should have exclusive right to it; otherwise large corporations could take control of it.

As children are innocent, they cannot know what is going on in their emotions and bodies. Orphans and other helpless kids are more vulnerable to sexual abuse than others. This crime seems to have been a terrible headache for developing countries like Nepal. So, it is essential to consider the situation of the sexually abused children in our family, society and the nation. The government and society have an important role to play in protecting children from the trap of abusers and perpetrators.
