The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), established in 2000, is responsible for the protection, promotion, respect for and enforcement of human rights in Nepal. It has been working against trafficking from its beginning. In its objective 3 of the Strategic Plan 2008-10, the Commission has outlined two areas of strategic intervention related to combating human trafficking: recommending amending statutory provisions relating to violence against women and human trafficking and developing regional and international cooperation with organizations working to prevent and control human trafficking and for social reintegration of the survivors. The Office of the National Rapporteur on Trafficking (ONRT), which was established under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare (MoWCSW) in NHRC in 2002, was renamed as Office of the Special Rapporteur on Trafficking (OSRT) in 2009 and it is a part of NHRC. The OSRT is mandated to monitor the incidence of trafficking; coordinate national, regional and international efforts to combat crime of trafficking; generate high level commitment to efforts aimed at improving the human rights situation of women and children; develop indicators and checklist of monitoring for situation of trafficking in persons; determine focal persons in every district to collect the information on trafficking; develop and maintain a comprehensive and up-to-date national database system on trafficking in persons, especially of women and children and prepare and publish Annual Report of the situation of trafficking in persons. This National Report 2008-09 is the continuation of the earlier National Reports of 2005 and 2006-2007. This Report aims to examine the situation of trafficking covering the period of 2008 and 2009, critically analyze the implementation status of the trafficking and foreign labor migration laws including the National Plan of Action (NPA) against Trafficking for Commercial Exploitation and Labor exploitation.
