Fighting Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is one of the most urgent human rights issues in Nepal, affecting thousands of people, particularly women and girls, each year. Regardless of various domestic legal reforms and international instruments in place, Nepal faces significant challenges fueled by poor socio-economic protection and increased organised trafficking networks. Notably, Nepal's open border with India has worsened the increasing trend of high labour migration, making it both a source and transit hub for the trafficking nexus.
