Human traffickers target Nepal girls

Human traffickers are targeting tens of thousands of women from regions in Nepal left destroyed by last month’s devastating earthquake.

The traffickers are believed to be entering some of the worst affected areas as chaos from the earthquake acts as a cover to allow them pick women to abduct and force into the sex trade.

“This is the time when the brokers go in the name of relief to kidnap or lure women. We are distributing assistance to make people aware that someone might come to lure them,” Sunita Danuwar, director of Shakti Samuha, an NGO in Kathmandu told the Guardian newspaper.
