Women hit by pandemic, domestic violence at high risk of trafficking

Traffickers have been using the Jamunaha border in Banke to smuggle girls and women to India on the pretext of sending them abroad for jobs, anti-trafficking officials say.

A woman from Sindhupalchok district was rescued by the officials of Maiti Nepal, an social organisation working in the field of anti-human trafficking, in Nepalgunj, Banke on January 1.
