Human trafficking is the exploitation of people for forced labor or sexual exploitation and an extreme violation of human rights. In Nepal, victims are commonly trafficked from rural areas to the urban centers. Trafficking for sexual exploitation is a highly profitable business that targets vulnerable populations. The earthquake in 2015 increased the risk for human trafficking due to increased vulnerability and a lack of security. Many children were separated from their families during the earthquake and were at greater risk for human trafficking. Men, women and children experience human trafficking and UNODC Global Report in Trafficking 2012 estimates that child victims, below age of 16 years, accounted for 36 percent of all trafficking victims in Nepal. People who are trafficked to perform forced labor typically become domestic servants, beggars, factory workers, mine workers, and are oftentimes forced into the entertainment industry, including in circuses and pornography. In addition, many children from remote, poor areas are trafficked into orphanages to extract money from wealthy foreigners who intend to donate money and volunteer with the children. 80 percent of these orphanages are located in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan, the most popular tourist spots in the country. However, 85 percent of children in these orphanages have at least one living parent.
