The program, mainly funded by USAID-Nepal and implemented by The Asia Foundation (TAF) with its eleven partners, will be carried out in six high trafficking risk districts--Banke, Rupandehi, Makawanpur, Kathmandu, Kavre and Sindhupalchowk.
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) estimate that around 15,000 Nepali girls and women are trafficked to India annually, while 7,500 are trafficked domestically. Besides, around 25,000 Nepali women become domestic workers involuntarily every year, the NGOs said.
