and compensation and reparation to the victims has not been provided. In particular, it is necessary to work for the right to know the truth, take action against the serious human rights violations and reconciliation and work for institutional strengthening and ensuring that such incidents do not happen again in the future. 2.2.14. Mental Health and Human Rights Although physical and mental health is included in the right to health, mental health is not kept in priority. Psychosocial problems in society are said to be based on baseless arguments such as prenatal sin, personal weakness, need to take medicine for life long etc. In addition to raising public awareness on this issue, treatment and rehabilitation centers with psychologists and counselors should be set up. The Commission has been collaborating and coordinating with the civil society, government agencies, local government, concerned organizations, media, etc. in this regard. In view of the increasing incidence of depression and suicide, the Commission needs to monitor and recommend on this issue as well. 2.2.15. Right against Torture Torture in detention centers and prisons seems to have decreased compared to the past, however it has not ended. There is a need to take legal action against the perpetrators and hold the security forces accountable and responsible. 2.2.16. Right to Housing The implementation status of the law issued regarding the right to housing is not found to be satisfactory. Housing programs are not found to be adequate for the landless, Dalit, squatters, Haliya, Musahar, Dom, Chamar and Badi marginalized and at-risk communities. People in these communities are deprived of proper shelter and toilets. The Commission had monitored the rehabilitation of people, who lost their homes in the devastating earthquake of 25 April, 2015. The Commission found that many families were left homeless by the quake. 2.2.17. The Rights of the Gender and Sexual Minorities Gender and sexual minorities are being discriminated, human rights issues including right to identity, employment and same-sex marriage have not been properly addressed. The Commission has been monitoring and investigating the complaints of violation of the rights of gender and sexual minorities. Right activists also say that "sexual minorities" should be mentioned in place of "other" while obtaining citizenship and passports. Sixth Strategic Plan 2021-2026 15
