Due to the global pandemic, the Nepal borders have been closed and high volume activities are strictly prohibited. Schools are also closed so the Hamro Abhiyan Anti-Trafficking Awareness Program has not been conducted in schools since March.
The borders are slowly opening again but many people have lost their jobs. This has created even greater numbers of people stuck in poverty. Many are not able to put food on their plates. The risk of trafficking is increasing. Out of desperate need, some resort to selling sexually explicit materials online, while others are easily lured to crossing the borders illegally in search of foreign employment.
Our partner, 3 Angels Nepal, turned to communities by conducting awareness programs so that women and children remain informed. In total, more than 350 women and children have been reached in different regions throughout Nepal talking about topics such as online sexual exploitation, how traffickers target the vulnerable and violence against women.
We are grateful and proud of our partners and their unwavering efforts to continue the fight against trafficking despite pandemic circumstances.
