human trafficking

The elimination of trafficking in girls for prostitution is a very important agenda at present. However, it can not be possible without building a strong social movement on the ground level, because the fight against the trafficking in women and children is a war against the exploitation, injustice and crime created by the strong underworld networks by using the given situation of poverty, starvation for commercial sexual exploitation in the flesh trade.
Looking at the present developments on the crimes against women and children, one should realize that this problem cannot be resolved in isolation. Facts have revealed that this problem has been interlined with the growing socio-economic, cultural and political exploitation in the country. If we are really determined to fight against child sexual abuse and exploitation, we should seriously review and examine the roots and causes of this problem, its impact and results. In our context, it is also closely interlined with the issue of the Indo-Nepal open border situation.
How can we review this situation and interlink it with the political issue? Shall we call the HMG/Nepal and Indian Government for bilateral initiation for the prevention and control of the trafficking in girls? I think this is a right time to call for discussions about the security in the border areas? We all should be serious in this matter and draw the attention of all those governmental and non-governmental organizations that are trying to do something for the protection and promotion of the rights of the child.
Trafficking in women and children for the commercial sexual exploitation is one of the most inhuman issues existed in our society. If our children are sold out in front of us how can we expect a better future in the days to come? This is not only shame for us but also a challenge to our democracy, human rights and security. If we wish our children be liberated from the harms and exploitation, we should not wait for tomorrow. We have talked a lot on the issues of children at risk. But time has come to translate our words into action
