Abstract: Children working in Nepal’s entertainment sector have become associated with the human trafficking discourse. They are generally viewed as innocent, immature and passive actors, who are subjected to forced labour and sexual exploitation and who therefore require rescuing. Limited research has critically assessed current responses to these children engaged in the entertainment sector in Nepal.
