Fighting child trafficking in Nepal
May 2011: Thousands of children and women are trafficked from Nepal to India each year for sexual exploitation. Watch this film to see how Plan-supported vigilance committees are taking action at the border posts to intercept and support suspected trafficking victims.
Nearly 600 vigilance committees - comprising women, children and police officers - have been set up in Nepal to increase awareness, prevent future trafficking as well take direct action to help those affected.
Hundreds rescued
In 2009 alone, more than 230 women and children were rescued by these committees and taken to a shelter run by Plan's partner organisations.
