  1. Trafficking in Nepal:
    Trafficking is one of the forms of violence against women and children in Nepal, similar to a trafficking other problems face by women and children in Nepal are Domestic violence and sexual abuse. It is accepted by society women are force to be silence. Which makes vulnerable girls and women into a sex and labor trafficking. The prevalence of girls trafficking in Nepal is overwhelming. It is estimated up to 15,000 girls between ages 9to 16, are trafficked each year from Nepal to India and trafficking of Nepali girls/women into a golf counties are growing. It is increasing instated of decreasing. More than 250,000 Nepalese girls are involved in the Indian sex trade. Up to 7,000 girls from rural areas are brought as domestic salves to Kathmandu city Nepal, where sexual abuse is common. There are more than 10,000 new orphans as a result of the Maoist War. An estimated 100,000 children have been forced to leave their villages.
    To prevent the trafficking of women and children in Nepal international community could do more by providing a jobs and education opportunity as well for their survival. If the Nepali government and humanitarian organizations could focus on addressing these needs by providing an opportunity (Jobs) and an international market it could greatly minimize human trafficking and violence against women and children in Nepal. If we can create a one job for a woman who can make about $100.00 a month she can take care of her children and herself so that she is not desperate to believe pimps. By providing one job opportunity for one woman could save at least three lives and it would prevent trafficking of women and their children in Nepal.

  2. Slavery is officially banned internationally by all countries, yet despite this, in the world today there are more slaves now than ever before. In the 400 years of the slave trade, around 13 million people were shipped from Africa. Today there are an estimated 27 million slaves - people paid no money, locked away and controlled by violence. Multi-Award winning documentary makers Kate Blewett and Brian Woods saw this terrible exploitation with their own eyes. The result is an utterly devastating film.
