Today is Anti-Trafficking Day in Nepal, a special day which will be marked to raise the Nepali public’s awareness of the problem of people trafficking in the country.

United Nations sources estimate that approximately 17,000 Nepali women are trafficked each year into brothels in India’s major cities [in other words, around half of all the Nepali women who leave the country each year, or about one-sixth of all Nepali migrants each year].

INF works with other organisations to prevent Nepali migrants to India from being caught up in people trafficking.
