The National Report on Trafficking in Persons Especially on Women and Children in Nepal is a continuation of previous National Reports published by National Human Rights Commission(NHRC). This Report is guided by the NHRC Strategic Plan (2011-14) as priority area of promotion and protection of collective group rights such as rights of the child, women’s rights and rights of migrant workers and the Government of Nepal’s National Plan of Action for Combating Trafficking(2011-15)which creates the NHRC as responsible body for publication of National Report on Trafficking in Persons annually. This Report mainly focuses on situation of trafficking in persons in Nepal; nexus of foreign labor migration and trafficking; monitoring of initiatives of anti-trafficking activities and legal framework, law enforcement status and judicial responses to trafficking. The Report is prepared by covering the time frame from January 2011 to December 2011(in specific context, data also covers 2012). The context of the Report is set forth drawing on the comments of Concluding Observation of the Committee on the Elimination Discrimination against Women(CEDAW) in 2011. The Committee urges the Government of Nepal(GoN) to fully implement article 6 of the Convention by collecting and analyzing data on all aspects of trafficking;implementing the Human Trafficking and Transportation (Control) Act, 2007 (hereafter HTTCA 2007); strengthening preventive measures; strengthening efforts to cooperate at the international, regional and bilateral levels; ensuring the effective implementation of the SAARC Convention; ratifying the United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children 2000 (hereafter UN Protocol on Trafficking) supplementing the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and providing information and training to the criminal justice actors, prosecutors,legal professionals, immigration and border police, and social workers. This Report utilizes the definition of human trafficking of UN Protocol on Trafficking and HTTCA 2007. These instruments establish the fact that trafficking can be internal and cross-border for the purpose of sexual exploitation; labor exploitation and for other purposes. The definitions also establish the fact that foreign labor migration from Nepal to different destination countries can be linked to trafficking phenomenon.
