1) Nepal has high rates of poverty and sex trafficking due to its unstable government and poor economy. Many young Nepali girls are sold into sex work after being promised jobs, money or marriage. 2) Traffickers target vulnerable girls from rural communities and transport them to cities in India or Nepal, where they are sold or auctioned. Younger girls and virgins fetch higher prices. 3) NGOs in Nepal work to prevent trafficking through education and border monitoring, rescue victims, and rehabilitate them through counseling, education, and job training. However, poverty, lack of education, gender roles, and demand continue enabling trafficking.
