1. 1Background of the Study

Behind every quandary is a hope. and it is the hope which accompanied me throughout the clip of composing this thesis. In fact I am non entirely in the battleground to show the facts and figures about trafficking in Nepal. the turning tendency of trafficking and harlotry has enabled many others to believe for the grounds why our society let such condemnable patterns to go on? Why the adult females of the South is neglected and lost in agonies. Agonies that are consequence of societal favoritism and gender inequality. One can non disregard such causes of agonies that start up with gender inequality and ends up in trafficking. colza and harlotry. The facts presented in the research require consciousness along with concrete actions to be taken globally. Possibly in this manner we would be able to disappear trafficking from the grass root degree.

1. 2Understanding Trafficking: A Conceptual Model

Harmonizing to the U. N International Protocol of Trafficking. any agencies of development that includes illegal transit of worlds by delusory agencies and ways. thereby doing them vulnerable can be illustrated as ‘Trafficking’ [ 1 ] . Today this issue has been so much over emphasized in helter-skelter state of affairss that it is difficult to distinguish between what is traveling on in adult females and kid trafficking. peculiarly in South Asiatic states like India. Bangladesh and Nepal. Since the subject allows me to debate merely on Nepal. therefore I would state that ‘women trafficking in Nepal’ has non been constrained in the boundaries of ‘prostitution’ and ‘forced labour’ entirely. Rather the issue has reached to ‘modern prostitution’ i. e. . ‘pornography’ .

Though erotica is non mentioned in the SAARC Convention. but still there is a hope to pull the attending towards such issues which serves trafficking and harlotry but are non a portion of legal conventions. Such an illustration is that of CSR ( Center for Social Research ) of New Delhi which along with the united cooperation of Nepal conducted a seminar on adult females trafficking named as “Effective Execution of the SAARC Convention” . This was held on July 5. 2006 in Kathmandu which was good to the extent that it acquired all the fiscal support of South Asiatic Regional Equity Support Programme [ 2 ] .

1. 2. 1Concept of Trafficking by Definition

Trafficing can take portion and affect other signifiers of development besides like human bondage. forced labor. labour bondage. and migratory workers. trafficking in individuals. harlotry. forced matrimony. the merchandising of married womans and other issues that involve illegal enforcement. It is hard to sufficiently explicate the constitution and operation of the adult females system influenced by trafficking quandary. in peculiar the sexual development of Nepali adult females in that system. by sing it from the position of history entirely.

It is frequently noticed that wherever the word ‘trafficking’ comes. it is counted someway in relation to globalisation. The thought and world of interconnection between trafficking and globalisation is the same between that of capital in one location and workers on another side of the Earth. That is. the power of capital operating in the international economic system to impact on people’s lives all over the universe is non a new phenomenon created by globalisation. To a great extent the economic conditions of. state. a fabric worker in India in the 19th century. were affected by the motions and activities of capital by the colonial powers. particularly Britain.

For illustration. the addition of capital investing in the fabric industry in England in the early 19th century ( e. g. Manchester and Lancashire ) had a important consequence on the support of Indian fabric workers. where the industry steadily declined. though India had antecedently been the universe leader in the sector. Even if the Indian fabric workers had been to the full cognizant of the interconnection between English capital and their ain support. it barely would hold brought about any important alterations for themselves. merely through consciousness entirely.

The same thing happens in states which are developing. have low literacy degree and above all has no regard for their adult females. Nepal is among such states where globalization is impacting those guiltless females who are incognizant of the outer universe and experience appeal and attractive force which is subjected to bizarre consequences. Therefore the result is nil but adult females development.

1. 2. 2Elementss of Trafficing

The component starts with the thought of migration which even today covers assorted signifiers of motion of peoples from physical transportations of population to the active enlisting of workers in order to reply sometimes impermanent labour deficits such as building sites of the Gulf. Another component is that of integrating of the planetary economic system which is going more incorporate than what it was a few old ages back. Since the supplantings are from hapless to rich states. therefore it is seen that affluent states seek to except people that are in economic footings called as ‘migrants’

Peoples are ever seeking ways and means to traversing boundaries irrespective of the concern of legal or illegal. In hunt of unofficial ways to traverse boundaries welcomes the ‘unofficial’ recruiters to acknowledge their ‘easy meal’ . It is through this ‘illegal’ attempt that whenever a seller is trafficked to another state. his life conditions are worst due to the secretiveness he wants to keep. and this weak point tends him towards greater degree of development and maltreatment. against which they are frequently without damages.

1. 3Socio-Economic Status of adult females and misss in Nepal

It seems so unusual to accept the fact that Nepal – a least South Asiatic state which constitutes more than 50 per centum of adult females in its entire population. deprive adult females rights in land and belongings. 90 per centum of the lands are owned by work forces while the staying 10 per centum by adult females and even that on conditions where a women’s matrimonial position is set to “married” . A individual or single miss owns nil [ 3 ] .

Bing an agricultural state. 76 percent population is engaged straight or indirectly in agribusiness [ 4 ] . Confronted to many adversities. 90 percent population lives in poorness where the major concern is non of life criterions but to get two clip nutrient. Therefore what is of import for Nepali is to acquire rid of hungriness. poorness and malnutrition and for this intent they are ever willing to deploy in any kind of support.

The close nexus between intra-state and interstate struggles has affected adult females who are already under force per unit area in the context of gender favoritism. Cross-country migration and refugee flows. every bit good as the issue of intervention of one’s ain subjects in neighboring states. have the possible to trip inter-state struggle.

In 1951 adult females and work forces were granted equal political rights. in 1963 the civil codification abolished all favoritism against adult females and eventually in 1976 equal wage statute law was enacted. However. despite such legal steps. an analysis of women’s position in Nepal reveals many disagreements between the societal and economic wellbeing of work forces and adult females. Legalised favoritism against adult females is found in the unequal heritage rights and in the citizenship rights harmonizing to which a Nepalese adult female who marries a alien loses her abode rights. Parliament is soon discoursing a measure on female ownership of land. but this is expected to be opposed by the Nepalese Congress and Royalist parties.

An indicant of the grade of favoritism is to be found in the fact that Nepal is one of merely three states in the universe where adult females have a lower life anticipation compared to work forces. 53. 4 versus 55. 9 old ages. Merely 22 per cent of misss complete primary school and there is a higher per centum of nonreaders among adult females as compared with work forces. Despite the fact that a higher per centum of adult females are engaged in agricultural and related activities. as compared to work forces but still they receive lower rewards than work forces and. by and large talking. have worse on the job conditions.

From a cultural point of position. matrimony and the begetting of kids. particularly boys. are the ultimate ends for every adult female. Almost 90 per cent of all adult females are married before they reach the age of 25 and. while the average age of matrimony is now 18 old ages ( a decennary ago it was 17 old ages ) . still more than 8 per cent of adult females are married before they reach the age of 15 old ages. Most matrimonies are arranged by parents and one time married the adult females have small chance to do any independent picks about how they want to populate their lives.

In 1975. under the reign of King Mahendra several alterations were proposed in the ‘panchayat’ system and a 1975 constitutional amendment changed the system [ 5 ] .

Democracy was restored after a chiefly urban-based popular motion had forced the male monarch to abandon the ‘panchayat’ system. Since so. three national elections have been held: two parliamentary and one for local authorities. It seems that. by and big. these elections have been free and just. Government has changed custodies twice. in November 1994 and in September 1995. and both transportations of power have been peaceable. On the whole it can be concluded that. since political reforms began in 1990. Nepal has made considerable advancement.

However. terrible jobs remain from political to discriminatory because the authorities has realized that it has failed to implement all commissariats of the fundamental law. It has been alleged that arbitrary apprehensions and detainment occur and that the constabulary normally uses physical maltreatment to pull out confessions while the authorities has deferred from look intoing allegations about such constabularies ferociousness. Detainees are frequently held longer than is permitted by jurisprudence. prison conditions are highly hapless and overcrowding is a common phenomenon. There are still some limitations on freedom of faith and look which are followed by bizarre imposts and bogus rites. As discussed above. adult females suffer widespread favoritism and besides the trafficking in adult females and misss remains a serious job [ 6 ] .

1. 4Historical Background of Women and Girls Trafficking in Nepal

Nepali adult females are associated with their historical inability. which has ever failed to turn out the position of adult females. The inability of the democratic system to turn to the basic unfairnesss of Nepali society can merely be understood in the context of Nepal’s long-run historical development in which adult females are considered as 2nd category citizen and are non deemed to the rights to which work forces are allowed. This is because. despite the terminal of autocratic regulation. gender inequality resided in democratic Nepal and remains marked by many of the same characteristics that have characterized Nepali political relations since the state was unified in the 2nd half of the 18th century. There has ne’er been any demand to province the function of adult females in Nepal’s history for it seemed to be wastage of clip and attempts to include women’s category in modern-day and old Nepal.

Therefore it can be said that Nepal was ever influenced by helter-skelter political system which continues to be hierarchal. centralized. riddled with confederacies and dominated by a complex patron-client link. This system gave rise to unequal power and distribution of wealth. Most significantly. the construction and distribution of power and wealth have remained mostly undisturbed by the acceptance of a multi-party. democratic political system. Although the balance of power within the Nepali elite has shifted in the 20th century. Nepal is ruled today. as it has ever been. by high caste. Indo-european work forces from the hills.

Nepal is seen as the vision of a harmonious Hindu state with a massive political civilization. and the hyperbole of Nepal’s isolation from the remainder of the universe. Under the former Shah Kings and the Ranas. political relations had been conducted by confederacy and by organizing confederations with strong work forces ( and on occasion strong adult females ) . Backing was indispensable to the operation of this system. Post-1951 political liberalisation changed this lone superficially. Politicss was. apparently. conducted out in the unfastened and was exposed to the forum of public sentiment. But this did non alter behavior because political groups did non hold a mass base ; they had no existent beginning of authorization. They hence looked to the male monarch as a dispenser of backing and as a beginning from which they could deduce legitimacy. Unfortunately for the chances of democracy in Nepal. this inclination merely served to heighten the legitimacy of monarchal regulation.

Compared with life in small town Nepal. populating conditions in the towns and metropoliss were good in the yesteryear. Merely a little per centum of the absolute hapless used to populate in urban countries [ 7 ] . Nepal’s poorness was concentrated overpoweringly in the countryside and particularly in the Pahad. where the hill economic system moved resolutely towards crisis during the panchayat old ages. That Nepali from the hills had. from the 19th century. steadily migrated to. and settled in. countries outside the country’s present boundary lines was a persuasive index that many had been forced to get away from the poorness of the Pahad.

Permanent and impermanent migration from the Pahad acted as a agency of poorness relief. Seasonal migration for trade and transhumance was a traditional pattern in the hills. as was the hunt for work in India [ 8 ] . where Nepalis were particularly prized as watchers and security guards because of their association with the Gurkha tradition. Small promotion. nevertheless. was given to another signifier of poverty-induced migration viz. to the extended trade in hill adult females and misss who were sold to the suffering whorehouses of India’s metropoliss. where they were extremely valued for their ‘exoticism’ .

The state of affairs of adult females in South Asia is most affectingly illustrated by the narrative of “100 million losing women” publicized by Amartya Sen ( 1990 ) . Worldwide. adult females by and large have a longer life anticipation than work forces and the sex ratio for the general population favors adult females. In South Asia ( Bangladesh. India and Pakistan in peculiar ) the ratio is every bit low as 93 or 94 females for every 100 males. compared with a ratio of 106 to 100 in Europe. North America and Japan. Precise information does non be and the causes of the divergence from the planetary form have non been to the full analysed.

In India. the female–male ratio has been worsening since 1901. when the nose count showed a ratio of 97:100. The 1951 nose count indicated a ratio of 94:100. which declined further to 93:100 by the clip of the 1991 nose count. On current tendencies. analysts predict that some 120 million adult females may be “missing” in another 10 old ages. Therefore in this context it is necessary to analyse the state of affairs in which besides trafficking. Nepali adult females are subjected to basic necessities deprivation like wellness attention. entree to clean H2O. sanitation. and basic protection from menaces to human being [ 9 ] .

In Nepal. 57 per cent of the population in the 10–14 age group are considered to be economically active where the 50 million kids who have non enrolled in or who have dropped out from primary school mostly overlap the class described as child workers. But. in visible radiation of the experience of other regional organisations. Naik concludes that the absence of an institutionalised security mechanism has hindered South Asiatic regional stableness. He warns that South Asia is at a hamlets: “either it can prosecute a way of purposeful cooperation based on peace. development and rapprochement. or it can drop deeper into the abysm of hopeless poorness. want. disease and illiteracy. ensuing in the gradual eroding of the really nucleus of our ancient societies. [ 10 ] ”

The manner in which Nepal is perceived as a conduit for drugs and arms trafficking. allow alone trafficking in adult females from Nepal to India and other finishs. helps seed the seeds of inter-state struggle. Nepal is accused of anti-Indian activities. allegedly carried out by Pakistanis from Nepal. The breakability of the relationship between the two states was demonstrated by wild rumours. circulated in December 2000 that the Indian movie histrion Rhitik Roshan had spoken out against Nepal. Some people in Kathmandu reacted angrily by puting fire to a film and vehicles and mortifying people from Tarai as if they excessively were Indians. Subsequently. the chief political parties played an of import portion in chilling piques.

In contrast to other states. Nepal is beset with multidimensional menaces. Furthermore. the part has failed to harvest the peace dividends of the terminal of the Cold War. The quandary with Nepal is that it is in South Asia which consisting fifth part of the world’s population. is one of the poorest. most illiterate and most malnourished parts of the universe. The blunt world is that South Asia stands marginalized in a extremely competitory and efficient globalized universe which does non badly condemn human trafficking or harlotry when compared with the West.

Soon Nepal is based upon 1990 Constitution. current legislatory system which is much similar Western democracies [ 11 ] . However the selfishness of the political parties are depicted by the forces like Maoists who after rejecting fundamental law have been a portion of force. This force or so called ‘people’s war’ has taken the lives of 8000 people since 1996 [ 12 ] . Since May 2003. there is no democratic system. the male monarch merely appoints the Government. However harmonizing to the Washington Times ( Feb 14. 2004 ) upon the advice of the Indian Prime Minister Atal Behar Vajpaayee. the male monarch and the political parties of Nepal have come closer to bring on a multiparty system [ 13 ] .

Nepal’s caste system bears merely superficial resemblance to that of northern India. It was introduced into Nepal at a comparatively late day of the month and was used as a device to accomplish ‘Nepalisation’ . which was the political integrating of diverse cultural communities into a individual national hierarchy dominated by the hill elite. Although. history reveals that Nepal is to a great extent influenced by Indian civilization and ethical motives but today’s Nepal is slightly different than what it was some 100 old ages ago. But when it comes to female trafficking. Nepal is acquiring the worse. Harmonizing to Bashford Peter ( 2006 ) [ 14 ] . today’s Nepal is picturing the unfastened patterns of sex tourers and harlotry in the streets of Nepal.

1. 5Aims of the Study

Without a uncertainty. Nepal is at hamlets today. Whereas the remainder of the universe is traveling quickly in the way of peace. stableness and development. the part continues to be soberly threatened by struggles and multiple security menaces. Poverty. terrorist act. the flow of weaponries. drug trafficking. the smuggling of people. and the spread of diseases such as HIV/ AIDS are menaces that are non solvable by single authoritiess ; they require corporate and concerted action by all states of the part.

My pick for taking Nepal as a research work is simple. there is so much work to make merely in footings of be aftering a intent to Nepal’s part and this research is merely a glance of what is traveling on in Asiatic states like Nepal.

The research includes telephonic interviews with trafficking victims. sellers. healers. counsellors. and staff of assorted organisations in focal point group Sessionss. single interviews in individual. and through computing machine webs. During research work. my concentration was on two cardinal inquiries: ( a ) what are the obstructors on the route to trafficking? And ( B ) Can by making consciousness among Nepali adult females. we can cut down the increasing rate of trafficking?

I conducted telephonic interviews and conversations in four small towns and four territories of Nepal Chepang small town. Gorkha small town. SiruBari small town and Balnthali. Districts include Sindhapulchow. Makwanpur. Dhading and Khavre. Interviewees were those involved in literacy every bit good as healers and counsellors whose work focused peculiarly on issues of trafficking whether they worked in shelters. wellness centres. or private pattern.

My chief concern for the trafficked adult females was to foreground the weak points of trafficking indirectly by stating their narratives. Narratives that shocked me and I frequently felt icinesss running up my spinal column. The narratives and descriptions collected from all the interviews are weaving through this research. linking with my ideas of analysis which I have presented in this research.

• Methodology of the Study

To transport out this research. I searched for a methodological analysis that would back up my desire to dispute some concealed cardinal premises underlying trafficking theory and pattern. ( B ) and to foreground the facts which differ between the threshold of existent and bogus trafficking narratives. Therefore I tried my best non to do hard those lives who have participated in this research work.

The methodological analysis I adopted enabled me to research the lives of those who were willing to take part in my research. In order to achieve meaningful consequences what I learned in one topographic point I discussed it in the following. thereby I develop a channel which engaged in inquiring a similar set of inquiries and analysing responses.

1. 6. 1 Research Design

The object of the research was to analyse each person and group I spoke to with had the full benefit of whatever knowledge the research had produced to day of the month. including my personal analysis. Every individual helped in the procedure of forcing the analysis farther. sometimes directing me back to rethink. sometimes corroborating a way and adding new penetrations. Although unmanageable. this led to exciting consequences. pulling theory and pattern closer together. Many people became actively engaged in the research analysis ; they continued to develop their ain thought and seek out new thoughts in their ain literacy work. Overall. I wanted the research procedure to be explorative for every reader.

Frequently. I felt that when adult females agreed to run into with me. they were ill-defined about what they had agreed to. Sometimes those coming together hoped for a workshop that would supply them with replies on whether they were making it right and state them what else they could make in response to the scope of ways that issues of force surfaced. When I had no significant information to portion. but merely wanted to larn about their experiences and ideas. I experienced a continual tenseness and tried to equilibrate the different facets. In ulterior interviews. I had more and more information that I wanted to look into group reactions to. and I wanted to go forth adequate clip for the current group to portion all it knew. My anxiousness over the reconciliation act and the certainty that there was non adequate clip in a session to cover all the land I hoped for grew greater.

The procedure helped me in acquiring information from interviews with those who used to be victims of trafficking to those who are still sing it. Sometimes this bit by bit germinating procedure made me dying ; I frequently wanted to pass more clip with people than was possible.

• Literature Review

The apprehension of favoritism is followed non merely in Nepal entirely. but whole South Asia is affected by gender favoritism factor which gives rise to offense. Every province in South Asia is bound by the norm of equality and non-discrimination between work forces and adult females as defined by international human rights instruments but it remains within the boundaries of universe alone and is non followed by action. The norm of equality is besides reflected in domestic jurisprudence of Nepal. in entrenched and justifiable commissariats of national fundamental laws. In its domestic application. nevertheless. the norm is badly impaired by indefensible divergences in the domain of women’s rights within the household.

The literature I have come across elucidates that the major factors behind such favoritism is non merely the lenience of regulations. but to a great extent those norms which in the 21^stcentury are followed. Norms like ‘Sati’ in India and ‘Deukis’ in Nepal feats adult females emotionally. On the other manus economical instability winds up the staying influences against adult females and evolves with penetrations. position. and empirical information on how adult females are subordinated by different legal. societal. and spiritual traditions.

Rather than brooding on single injury or seeing the wake of force as an person job. pedagogues must acknowledge force against adult females as a societal unfairness. While carry oning extended research based on primary and secondary beginnings I realized the solution of trafficking is non merely the command of Torahs and to eliminate poorness but to make adequate consciousness among adult females to choose from among multiple picks. to place those obstructors that hinder in between adult females and women’s rights. The most important barrier to women’s rights hence. is a hostile province that is non really interested in giving them any rights. Other factors that have adversely affected women’s rights in Nepal include the deficiency of execution of Torahs by the province jurisprudence and order machinery and the gender prejudice pervasive in the bench at all degrees. I

n malice of the amendments to the colza and dowery Torahs during the 1980s. these Torahs have non been enforced or implemented by the province and its administrative machinery. Further. though certain challenges to personal Torahs as being prejudiced and offensive of the right to equality are pending before the Supreme Court of India. the Supreme Court and other tribunals have in the past largely interpreted Torahs associating to adult females in an highly narrow. conservative. and anti-women mode without taking into history the women’s position and their state of affairs in India and Nepal.

Illiteracy and poorness besides have a major function to play. Most Nepali and Indian adult females have no entree to the tribunals or cognition of the Torahs and. because of the blue conditions in which they live. they can non afford to contend for their rights in a hostile societal and economic environment. These are the grounds at the domestic degree that are chiefly responsible for suppressing the growing of women’s rights.

The application of the norm in South Asia is asymmetric. It subjects dealingss in the populace sphere. the universe of political engagement. employment. and instruction. to minimal criterions of equality. In contrast. it relegates the private domain of the place and the household. to an arena ‘beyond justice’ . regulated by variable sets of norms. Rights within the household are determined by personal Torahs. based on spiritual traditions. imposts. and patterns.

• Nature and Beginnings of Datas

The stuff I have used in my research work is largely derived from primary beginnings which consist of telephonic interviews arranged by my group people. conversations. face to confront interviews. newspapers and acknowledged web sites. While carry oning research based on interviews I noticed the ‘victims’ were given many hopes like I was told by one of the interviewee that she was claimed to supply justness and in this concern was promised to take official action aimed at forestalling forced harlotry and trafficking. Many interviews were based on what the governments think about the adult females. instead than on the positions. demands and wants of the affected adult females themselves. This may be to some extent due to the trouble in keeping contact with adult females workers. peculiarly where they are kept by whorehouse proprietors. The remainder is being extracted from renowned books.

• Universe and Sampling Procedure

The information is gathered and sampled consistently step by measure so as to supply the reader with the basic apprehension of what has been traveling about in Nepal right from the history till the present epoch. The research is divided into seven chapters. chapter one is the introductory portion which covers major definitions and elements of trafficking. Chapter two high spots all the legal facets behind trafficking. chapter three elucidates present scenario of trafficking in Nepal. chapter four is all about the sellers and those people who are involved in the procedure. chapter five screens major agonies behind trafficking like wellness concern. colza etc. Chapter six is the integrating of victim in the society while chapter seven ends up with decision and recommendations.

• Data Collection Techniques and Tools

Gathered informations through interviews. nevertheless could non utilize questionnaires as bulk in Nepal is illiterate and found out during research that largely people are non able to read and compose their names. Therefore most of the information is gathered through interviews. Sessions that took topographic point in local eating houses made it luring for workers to go to. but taping became impossible at that clip.

• Interview Schedule

I interviewed 5 groups of trafficking victims ( some groups besides included counsellors and people from other organisations ) and met with some workers separately or in 2 or 3s. For grounds of confidentiality for themselves or for others. some are nameless or named by first names merely. This procedure led to many people taking to take part in the research. Overall. I talked to about 100 people. largely adult females. in assorted groupings. Group Sessionss were every bit short as an hr and every bit long as a full weekend. and everything in between. depending on how much clip people felt they could liberate up. Early Sessionss looked more like interviews. whereas ulterior Sessionss became more like workshops. As I had more information to portion with participants and usage to trip their thought. the Sessionss became more synergistic.

• Interview with Key Information

In the rural countries I interviewed 15 adult females from four small towns. Chepang small town. Gorkha small town. SiruBari small town and Balnthali. The remainder 25 adult females belonged to the territories of Sindhapulchow. Makwanpur. Dhading and Khavre. These interviews were concerned with the development of trafficking with a comparing between the small towns and the territories mentioned above.

• Data Processing and Analysis

Information on adult females trafficking was collected in urban and rural communities. based on interviews with a sum of 40 adult females. UAE and Mumbai was selected as a representative of major urban centres to which rural adult females characteristically migrate. Upon research I found out that these metropoliss frequently attract many tourers and sex workers. There are a figure of governmental and non-governmental bureaus across Nepal. India and UAE which help prolong adult females. These include NSP. a non profitable organisation and SWC ( Social Welfare Council ) . In coaction with these two bureaus I interviewed 20 adult females and their households in Nepal and 10 in India. The interviews were designed to derive an penetration into the mechanics of migration and trafficking. the on the job conditions and jobs encountered in the ‘trafficking’ industry. and the aid available to the adult females.

Chapter 2

Legal Framework against Trafficing

2. 1Domestic Law against Trafficing

Trafficing in Nepal non merely breaches the condemnable and many other Torahs. but besides leaves a alone and ineradicable societal bequest. The fortunes of women’s work represent clear misdemeanors of human rights and have the farther consequence of enforcing a societal stigma on the adult females and their households.

“When Radha was 27. she traveled from a little town in Nepal to India. trusting to go a nanny. She was told by a friend. who paid her travelling disbursals. that a good occupation awaited her. When she arrived. she discovered she was the belongings of the money proprietor who had financed the trip. She was taken to arouse locales and coerced into sex work. She was responsible for the debt from her travel every bit good as day-to-day life disbursals. She was assaulted and abused by the proprietor of the sex constitution. and threatened with decease if she should seek to run off. She was subsequently sold on to another constitution. Found to be HIV-positive. she was sent back to Nepal with neither nest eggs nor benefits”.

The battle for prostitute adult females to be acknowledged as portion of the women’s motion for fiscal independency and control over our ain organic structures. and portion of the propertyless motion for more money and less work was wholly new. It is still controversial as most of women’s release was hostile to prostitute adult females on the evidences that interchanging sex for money was unambiguously degrading. They said it encouraged colza by taking work forces to believe that all adult females are available. handily burying that work forces already thought that. The sex industry is non the lone industry which is male-dominated and degrades adult females. but it is an industry where the workers are illegal and can least support publically their right to their occupations and take bases against their employers.

Each twelvemonth 1000s of Nepali adult females are either thrusted to execute spiritual and societal bizarre traditions or are managed to merchandise by bogus promises by their household members or friends. This happens for several grounds: Womans are meant to hold a lower position than work forces in Nepal. Womans are bound to execute every responsibility for their work forces irrespective of legal or illegal.

2. 1. 1State Code 1963

State Code ( 1963 ) references ‘Rape’ as the most serious condemnable discourtesy in which the victims is non merely mentally anguished but is viciously shattered down emotionally and spiritually. Therefore. 1963 regulates ‘rape’ as the discourtesy subjected to execute under or at the age of 16 without knowing or unwilled consent done forcefully and is obligated to penalize the victim consequently. However colza is non considered in the status where it is performed between hubby and married woman [ 15 ] .

Harmonizing to proviso no. 8 of the state codification ( 1963 ) . there is no incrimination upon the victim if the raper is killed within an hr after executing the discourtesy [ 16 ] . This proves the extent to which colza is discouraged for the benefit and wellbeing of the society.

Article 1 of the Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women ( CEDAW ) defines any sort of adult females bondage or to utilize any portion of her organic structure against her will as an discourtesy [ 17 ] .
