In Nepal, traffickers often target girls from the lowest caste in extreme poverty. Because of the corrupt caste system, these girls face systemic discrimination and a lack of job opportunities. Tragically, traffickers leverage their desperation with false promises of high-paying jobs, education, or an arranged marriage, luring these girls across the border into India. This tactic deceives the girls into believing they will be able to provide for themselves or their families. Typically, these girls have no idea what fate awaits them until it’s too late.

Combat Trafficking With Every Purchase

Before and even after these girls are sold, they can be rescued and brought to a safe house for healing and restoration. Through our partnership with Venture and Business for Good, your purchases will help these girls find freedom, loving care, and a brighter future. Our giving program supports the prevention, rescue, and restoration of girls from human trafficking. Watch Sushila's story below for an example of the powerful difference this makes in someone's life.

• Prevention - Vulnerable girls are identified and brought to a safe house where they receive trauma care and education. Additionally, in high-trafficking communities, these girls and their families receive meals, secure homes, and start-up costs for farms so they can live in safety with enough food to eat.
• Rescue - Survivors staffed at border patrol stations along the Nepal-India watch for girls at imminent risk of being trafficked. At these high-trafficking crossings, victims are identified and separated from their traffickers. Recovery and support are given on a case-by-case basis.
• Restoration - Rescued girls receive safe housing, health assessments, trauma counseling, and reunification with their families–depending on the situation. Girls can pursue vocational training to become financially independent, which breaks the cycle of poverty that had caused them to be vulnerable in the first place.
