OHCHR-Nepal Encourages Government to Take Steps to End Kamalari practices and Undertake Search for Missing Girls and Women.
Abstract:
OHCHR-Nepal notes with concern that no concrete steps have been taken to end the practice of Kamalari, by which adolescent girls from poor Tharu families are sent to work in private homes, where they are at risk of severe exploitation, including sexual exploitation. This is despite a Supreme Court order of 10 September 2006 to effectively implement existing law that prohibits child exploitation, including the Kamalari system. #KamalaraiSystem #NepaliGirlsAndWomen #EndKamalari #GirlsAndWomen

They are in Kathmandu to campaign for the implementation of the Supreme Court decision and for the liberation and rehabilitation of all Kamalaris, as well as clarification of the fate of Kamalaris who have gone missing and justice for those who have been subject to sexual or other kinds of exploitation. The campaign is also calling for an end to the practice of contracting Kamalaris during the Tharu festival of Maghi, which is celebrated in mid-January.
