For months, the government of Nepal has struggled to contain public anger over a rise in sexual assaults in this small Himalayan nation up 60 percent over the past five years, officials say. Over the summer, a tipping point was reached after the rape and killing of a 13-year-old girl in western Nepal. Across the country, thousands of people demonstrated in the streets and accused the police of tampering with evidence to protect the attacker. Under pressure, the government went back to a tactic it had tried years ago but then abandoned: It banned pornography. This time, it added harsh fines or prison sentences for internet service providers who refuse to comply. Pulling down such websites inside Nepal has become necessary, read an official statement about the ban.

Critics of the ban questioned whether there was any link between pornography and Nepals sexual assault numbers, and if it was even possible to prevent people from accessing the websites with the profusion of firewall-evading software.

Why would banning porn even stop rape? Wouldn't it just increase tension?

if people never watch porn they never learn what sex is or what a female body looks like, therefore rape is reduced because they dont understand their own desires

I don't think the porn ban will change much but the government are desperate they have to do something

It's wrong to assume taking porn away will make it worse...as a society they are sick in the head when it comes to sexual assault. Maybe a porn ban is the stepping stone to something more effective
