Human Trafficking Thrives in Nepal

SUNAULI, NEPAL - 2009/02/08: Maili, who works for Maiti Nepal, questions girls and young women who may be being trafficked across the border into India as sex-slaves. She always looks the passengers in the eye and asks the young girls: "Where are you from?" and "how well do you know the people you are travelling with?" Maili says that it is easy to see if someone is lying. "We ourselves have been in exactly the same situation as those we are questioning." Each car, bicycle taxi and bus is checked. Last year 1,618 girls were rescued and got their childhood back. Approximately 12,000 broke through Maiti Nepal's cordon. The odds are on the traffickers side..
