Traffickers prey on the most vulnerable members of society. In order to
deceive, first, they take help of local people to identify such families. They
may provide economic incentive and financial loans to their friends, relatives,
family, spouse or even parents. At times, most victims are lured to promises of
better jobs or well paid job in cities, false marriages and proposals, easy
money, dream of sophisticated life and other. Victims of earthquakes, floods,
wars and epidemics can be easily smuggled.
Most victims are involved in slavery like practices, and kept in prison
like environment. It is because they can be physically and sexually abused.
They have to work long hours without any rest or recreation. They never get
medical facility when they fall sick. They are either paid less or their
earnings are withheld with prolonged indebtedness to traffickers.
Our constitution has preserved the right to freedom. Therefore, we must
fight against trafficking of persons. In addition to legislation, the Nepal
government, The Ministry of Women, Children and Welfare, various INGOs and NGOs
and many other organisations in Nepal are dedicated to combat human
trafficking.
If we suspect anyone involving in such illegal activities, we have to
report the police or any member of concerned organisations. We can also use
helping numbers any time to inform about victims or traffickers. Our little
effort will be a great help to control violation of human rights.
