Trafficking of Women and Girls for Sex Trade from Nepal to India

Challenge, 2016, vol. 59, issue 5, 434-458

Abstract: We know that extreme poverty is a major cause of human trafficking. This researcher suggests that a new approach be taken in reducing this odious abuse of the poor. The author bases his research on a study of one hundred and fifty-eight Nepalese women and girls who were trafficked for sexual exploitation from Nepal to India, and makes a persuasive claim that putting the protection of human rights at the center of attempts to mitigate this tragedy is badly needed.
