Trafficking in women and girls from Nepal is a distinct discriminatory phenomenon that has been gaining increasing attention among concerned individuals and institutions in Nepal. There are ample evidences, which indicate that trafficking in women and girls is not a new phenomenon in this country. Due to continuous efforts in areas of social mobilization, awareness and advocacy campaigns by various segments of the society, in particular by women’s groups, trafficking in women and girls has become an issue of national priority with its own National Plan of Action at the policy level. Although much more action needs to be taken, there is a strong realization of the significance of the problem and concerted efforts are directed towards its prevention.
However, little, if any, attention has been given to the trafficking of boys, mainly because not many cases have been known. This study takes its departure in one concrete discovery of a case of what seems at the outset to be organized trafficking of boys from three border districts in Nepal. It is the first study of its kind in Nepal.
