During a trek to Everest Base Camp with my women's trekking group (the Amazing Trekkers Club), we visited Maiti Nepal to understand the routes of the charity and see how we could assist them.

In addition to a monetary donation, our group met with Madam Anuradha Koirala, CNN Hero 2010, who tasked us with distributing educational posters and pamphlets in the remote villages we trekked through. The materials were to educate the women most at risk of being trafficked and educate the men as well.

Maiti Nepal was born out of a crusade to protect Nepali girls and women from crimes like domestic violence, trafficking for flesh trade, child prostitution, child labor and various forms of abuse, exploitation and torture. In 1993, a group of socially committed professionals like teachers, journalists and social workers together formed Maiti Nepal to fight against the social evils inflicted upon our female populace. Its prominent focus has always been centered on preventing trafficking for forced prostitution, rescuing victims of the flesh trade and rehabilitating them. This social organization also actively works to provide justice for the victimized girls and women through criminal investigation and waging legal battles against the criminals. Since its inception, it has drastically highlighted trafficking issue with its strong advocacy from the local to national and international levels. Show less
