Nepal

Twenty-one-year-old Soneeya* set out with her father to visit a neighbouring city. She had no idea she was about to encounter the man who would turn out to be her trafficker.

Reena, Eisha and Nadiya were rescued at the Nepal border earlier this year. Since then, we have been following up with them and their families to see how they are doing.

Four girls were rescued together at a border crossing. None of them had any idea that the bus they were on was about to cross the border into a different country.

As our agents were conducting their routine interviews at a key border crossing location they came across 18-year-old Sreva* traveling with a 21-year-old man…

In some instances, trafficked individuals are completely unaware of the dangers they are about to encounter, and our pre-emptive rescue interrupts the deceptive process. This was the case for all three of these girls.

After listening to her story, Nona counselled young Iniya on the risks and cases she’s handled of human trafficking across this border. The pieces started to come together and the reality of the situation sank in.
