69 Rescued from Human Traffickers
69 people, including 31 children, were rescued before they were trafficked across the Nepal border.
Traffickers use a variety of tactics, from romantic grooming to fake job postings, to lure their targets out of Nepal. Once out, the victims are sold into brothels or labor trafficking, cut off from help in a foreign land.
But these 69 survivors are safe! After being counseled on how criminals trick their targets, they all returned home to their families. One even pressed charges against her trafficker, despite the risk of incurring social stigma. That trafficker was arrested.
