Abstract: This study is population sex ratio and the prevalence of violence against women in the workplace in Kakarvitta, Nepal. As a prominent border town and commercial hub, Kakarvitta presents a unique demographic and socio-cultural setting influenced by cross-border trade, migration, and diverse occupational patterns. The survey employed both quantitative and qualitative methods, combining structured questionnaires with open-ended interviews to gather data from a representative sample of local residents and working women.
The analysis of population sex ratio provided insights into the demographic balance between males and females, highlighting patterns that may be linked to migration trends, employment opportunities, and socioeconomic factors. The investigation into workplace violence against women revealed both overt and subtle forms of discrimination, harassment, and intimidation, as well as the coping strategies adopted by affected individuals.
Findings from the study indicate that while Kakarvitta’s demographic structure reflects broader regional trends, workplace violence against women remains a pressing concern, shaped by cultural attitudes, lack of enforcement of legal protections, and limited awareness about gender rights. The study underscores the need for community-based awareness programs, stronger policy implementation, and integration of gender sensitivity into educational and workplace training initiatives
