Many women and children from poor, remote areas of Nepal who are struggling to
look after their families are targeted in several ways: Some are abducted from their
villages and drugged. Others are offered
well-paid jobs in the city that could support
their entire family Young girls are enticed
with promises of marriage by wealthy businessmen, so her family allows her to travel
to the city to be wed. Once in the city she is
taken to a warehouse brothel full of rooms
divided only by sheets. She will be auctioned here. The younger she is, the higher
the price she will be sold for. Virgins are the
most valued; as it is believed that a virgin
from Nepal can cure an AIDS victim in India.
The border between Nepal and India is
1,000 miles long with just 14 checkpoints
along the route. This makes it easy to smuggle over 20,000 women and young girls
(mostly aged between 12 and 25) from Nepal to India every year. In recent times,
some girls as young as 8 have been rescued from traffickers. The girls are taken
from their homes and communities to work
as sex slaves in the brothels of Mumbai,
Bangalore, Delhi, Siliguri or Kolkata. This is
a life of abuse and fear; a life without hope.
Charities such as 3 Angels set up small
checkpoints along the border to intercept
traffic and help to stop human trafficking. So
far, the 3 Angels’ booths stop an average of
12 girls being trafficked every day. Interception is the most effective form of rescue. We
need your support and donations big or
small to go toward the rescue, prevention
and rehabilitation of those being trafficked.
