Fight against Human Trafficking
Every year, a criminal network coerces approximately 30,000 girls aged 12 to 18 into the sex industry in Nepal and India. Nepal serves as a transit country due to its open border with India, where individuals from any nation can obtain a visa upon arrival. Traffickers often visit mountain villages, persuading parents that their daughters' lives will improve if they provide them with money. At times, young women are abducted from these villages. These females experience collective abuse and rape in places like Kathmandu or other major cities within the country. If a girl refuses to comply, she faces assault or threats to her life. These girls are subsequently transferred between different brothels, while traders establish connections with buyers from various nations, facilitating the sale of a girl for sums ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 each. Subsequently, these girls are forced to cross borders after being sold.
