Forced labor, modern day slavery and human trafficking are subjects of widespread international concern and action. The International Labor Organization’s two Conventions on forced labor, the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 and the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention, 1957 are among its most widely ratified instruments. Yet, these problems still persist on an alarming scale, affecting all regions of the world in different forms and to varying extents.Nepal has ratified both ILO forced labour Conventions, and has put in place national policies and programmers to deal with forced labour, particularly as it affects workers in the agricultural sector.The 2008 government declaration on the liberation of aliyahs another important step. However, it is widely acknowledged that significant gaps and challenges in implementation remain; action is still needed to ensure the complete and effective rehabilitation of these groups as well as others who may still be subjected to bonded labour and other forced labour practices in agriculture and other sectors of Nepal’s economy.
