Human trafficking is a heinous crime and a major type of violence that is common in Nepal. It has been recognized as a crime against the state and is linked to migration and smuggling. Initially, Nepal was the source country from where women were sold to brothels in India and only women and girls were trafficked. However, Nepal has now become a source country, transit and destination of trafficking, which victimizes not only women and girls but also men and boys. Various initiatives have been undertaken by the government and non-governmental groups, but these have not been able to address the phenomenon of trafficking adequately. This article will present the situation of human trafficking in Nepal, its changing dimensions, intersection with foreign employment, rules and structures dealing with it, challenges posed following the earthquake and the way forward. In addition, it will also present the role of the Forum for Women, Law and Development (FWLD) in combating trafficking.
