Campaign for Social Awareness

Since its inception, Maid Nepal has actively campaigned a social movement against
girls and women trafficking. Maiti Nepal works to create extensive social pressure
and advocates against heinous crimes like girls and women trafficking. Maiti Nepal's
programs in the campaign against girls and women trafficking involve people from all
walks of life-from school and college students to parliamentarians.
 
Maiti Nepal has conducted social awareness
programs as campaigns by organizing
awareness rallies, workshops, and aware-
ness-training programs in districts affected
by the problems, and in the border cities
and towns. Maiti Nepal also conducts
awareness-oriented community workshops
to formulate social strategies against girls
and women trafficking. In order to raise
awareness among the local people of the
affected areas, Maiti Nepal organizes street
dramas based on real scenarios, folk
dances and songs, including various
creative and cultural programs based on
folk traditions and culture. Maiti Nepal has been conducting a program called "Students Against Girl Trafficking" in the schools of various districts to motivate students to participate in social awareness campaigns against girls and women trafficking. In this program, creative competitions and informative programs are conducted in order to enhance the creativity and skills of the students. Interaction programs with the teachers about the problems of girls and women trafficking have also been initiated. Maid Nepal has been regularly meeting with leaders of different political parties and Members of Parliament, and has been organizing interaction workshops with them in order to create awareness among them on the problem, and to motivate them to present girls and women trafficking as a national issue. Maiti Nepal hands out appeals and information to the parliamentarians on the first day of each session of Parliament. The appeals request them to be active against girls and women trafficking. Maiti Nepal has organized two interaction workshops for leaders of the main political parties and parliamentarians. Maid Nepal organizes cross-border workshops participated in by representatives of government and non-government organizations and institutions from Nepal and India. These cross-border workshops discuss in depth the prevailing situation of girl and woman trafficking from Nepal into India and abroad, and on measures to prevent girls and women trafficking in the towns located at the main border exit/entry points.
