Project 3L: Life Long Learning Project 3L provides opportunities for girls and young women to learn life skills so they are better equipped to reach their fullest potential in the changing world. The Project 3L grants are funded by the Friends of Asia Pacific WAGGGS(FAPW). Running since 2004, 3L Projects have benefitted thousands of girls and young women to date. Some of the projects generate new income for the Member Organizations as a result of project funded. Some of them bring extra income to help with the living cost of their families.

Nepal Scouts Project 3L 2020 With the declaration of Covid 19 as a Pandemic and the increasing number of cases, the schools remained closed for a long time. Large group activities of all organizations including Nepal Scouts had been halted. In such situation, Nepal Scouts had been continuing its activities through virtual platform. Few scout units of Urban and Semi urban areas were effectively conducting online sessions. A popular magazine” The Economist” recently published a report “Inclusive Internet Index 2019” which suggests that Internet use in Nepal are quite expensive as compared to that being used in other countries of the world. The data illustrates that the online activities of Nepal Scouts are in the reach of few girls and there are still many girls and young women who have been forced to stay inside the houses, deprived of internet facility, cheap internet services, enough devices, school closed and out of academic and learning environment. The pandemic and lockdown (partial and complete) have also moved some of the girls and young women into the threat of Domestic Violence. Altered lifestyles with no or less exposure to outdoor physical activities have affected the self-body images. Suicidal Cases are increasing day by day and the situation is making people hopeless and stressed. In all situations, girls and young women are highly vulnerable to harm and violation of their rights. In order to address the current issues, Nepal Scouts is implementing Project 3L 2020 entitled “Scouting for all: Any Situation, Any Where, Any How” 4

About the Activity Pack: “Scouting in the New Normal” The “Activity Pack Scouting in the New Normal” comprises of the activities based on the current issues faced by the youths as a result of the Covid 19 Pandemic. The aim of this Activity Pack is to achieve the main aim of Project 3L; to engage and attract youths in Scouting Activities. In addition, this activity pack also expects to involve scouts as well as non – scouts from every nook and corner of Nepal in scouting activities in the new normal.

Activity (60 Min) Shadow Pandemic??? (5 min) Term to describe violence against girls and women during COVID 19 pandemic Global increase in Gender Based Violence amid of COVID 19 pandemic As most of the countries are affected by Covid 19 Pandemic and are/ were in Lockdown state. In such situation, perpetrator and survivors are more likely to share same space which elevates chances of violence. They are suffering from violence but are unable to speak out against it. They are incapable to reach out to seek help.

Factsheet (10 min) According to the recent publications of UN Women and related agencies, Globally, even before the COVID 19 pandemic began, 1 in 3 women experienced physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner. Emerging data shows an increase in calls to domestic helplines in many countries since the outbreak of COVID 19. Sexual harassment and other forms of violence against women continue to occur on streets, in public spaces and online. Survivors have limited information and awareness about available 19

services and limited access to support. In the previous 12 months, 243 million girls and women (aged 15-49) across the world have been subjected to sexual or physical violence by an intimate partner, (6 April 2020). In Argentina, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, government authorities, women’s rights activists and civil society partners have flagged increasing reports of domestic violence during the crisis, and heightened demand for emergency shelter. A 24 hours toll-free helpline run by Nepal’s National Women Commission (NWC) received 885 calls related to domestic violence from April to June, 2020. This is over twice the number of calls received within the same period prior to the lockdown (Dec 2019 – Feb 2020). Published in End Poverty South Asia blog). In Nepal, 176 cases of violence against women and girls in just 18 districts (Dhanusa, Morang, Rukum, Kailali,Dang, Bardia, Siraha, Saptari, Udaypur, Sunsari, Banke, Syangja, Baglung, Mahottari, Rautahat, Parsa, Kathmandu and Bhaktapur) since the lockdown began on 24 March up to 1 May were recorded and this is expected to raise the nationwide annual average of cases of domestic violence this year reported by WOREC (Women’s Rehabilitation Centre). WOREC data shows that the perpetrators in the 176 reported cases in 18 districts include 78 husbands, and 37 members from the family of the victims. Among the 26 cases of rape recorded during this time, two were gang rapes involving the partner and friend of the survivor. Most of the victims of violence were in the 17-25 age group, followed by women and girls aged between 26-35. There were 25 girl children below the age of 16 among the survivors. A girl on her return to home from pharmacy was abducted and raped by group in Kanchnapur. A mother in Baitadi was raped by her son amidst lockdown.

When a person criticizes or make fun of another person’s appearance without their knowledge. Eg: That actress has gained so much weight. What a waste of talent? She should not have worn that. She has a wrong body type for that dress. This unrequested remarks and comments on our bodies shatters our self-esteem and affect our body confidence. 25
