Over 24,000 pornography sites blocked but activists say the real problem is the lack of justice for women.

Nepal said on Thursday it had ordered more than 24,000 pornography websites to be blocked under a crackdown that activists have criticised as "ridiculous" and ineffective.

The move, which the government says is in order to curb sexual violence, follows a national outpouring of anger this summer in response to the brutal rape and murder of 13-year-old Nirmala Panta in July.

Panta's killing sparked protest rallies across the country in August - leaving one dead and dozens injured - after the state was accused of not taking adequate action in rape cases and a video emerged of police officers destroying evidence.
