12 Nepali Women Rescued from Airport
12 Nepali women were rescued in the nick of time.
The women, all between 20 and 45 years old, had all been deceived by the same lie: good jobs were waiting for them out of the country. To avoid detection and travel fees, the victims were transported separately to a neighboring country’s airport. When our agents discovered the plot, we acted quickly alongside police to rescue the women before they could be trafficked out of Nepal.
The primary trafficker, a woman cloaked behind fake IDs, escaped for the time being, but her accomplices were identified.
If reports from other survivors are any indication, these women would have faced up to 20-hour days of hard, unpaid manual labor and sexual abuse. Read more about how traffickers deceive their Nepali victims here.
