Social problems are a major problem in today's society. The tradition,culture,behavior that creates negative consequences in society are called social problems. In other words we can say that social problems are the problems that affect many people within the society. People have been following these problems for many years. It plays a vital role in disrupting or damaging the society.A single person is not only responsible for these problems. In the context of Nepal ,There are many social problems being followed all over the country.
Some of them are; Deuki pratha, Daijo pratha ,Jhuma pratha, Chaupadi,Untouchability,Girls trafficking,Corruption and so on . Nepal is facing a large number of social issues from the past. These problems directly or indirectly affect the sustainable development of the nation. So these problems should be eradicated from society . So here is the short introduction of some of the
social problems in nepal.
● Chaupadi pratha: The tradition where the girls are forced to live in a small hut far from their home during their menstruation cycle is Chaupadi pratha. It is still practiced in Far-Western side of our country.
● Untouchability: This is the practice where the high caste people discriminate against the low caste people . The high caste people dont allow the low caste people to enter their home, touch them and use public resources .
● Girls trafficking: Every year more than 20,000 girls from different parts of the country are
trafficked.They are made promises of quality life but are ended up in brothels ,working as
slaves and as labours in industries.
Social problems give birth to social evils. They ultimately may destroy the whole nation and society. Therefore,it is essential to identify the social problems and follow the measures for their solutions.These problems must be eradicated from society to make our country developed in a holistic way. There are many solutions to these social problems.First of all we must launch the awareness programme in different parts of the country informing the bad impacts and consequences of wrong practise they have been following. Next the government must implement strict law and punish the people who practice it.
We should practice “NO” to all these problems and eradicate this issue from the root and make our country prosperous, and developed overall.
