Human trafficking statistics are staggering. Every year about 20,000 Nepalese girls alone, mostly between the ages of 9 and 16, are sold to brothels in Indian cities. According to international social agencies, sex trafficking from Nepal to India is one of the busiest human slave traffic of its kind anywhere in the world.

Maiti Nepal is an organization fighting to stop human trafficking and working to rescue, rehabilitate and reintegrate the survivors of sex trafficking in Nepal.
