We ask that anyone who has had experiences, either positive or negative, in their dealings with the Nepalese travel industry e-mail us about their experiences. We would use this and other information to help travelers choose safe travel and trekking companies. Anonymous responses are welcome. We would like to thank those who have already replied. Women who have been abused by anyone in Nepal's travel industry are urged to work with us to put this person out of business and out of the range of future travelers.
Confidentiality is insured.
In addition to stopping this sanctioned practice of violence against women tourists we hope that, by obliging the authorities to take note of women's human rights, this campaign will add weight and momentum to the effort to stop the pervasive and widespread problem of trafficking Nepalese girls to the brothels of India. Please take a moment to sign our electronic protest. Dear Sir, Whereas I respect the culture of Nepal, I am very concerned that known sex offenders and their accomplices are alleged to remain in positions of trust in the Nepalese travel industry. It appears that police, lawyers and government authorities overlook the absolute right of all women not to be abused, and that alleged corruption enables these travel agents to maintain their position with bribes, with their guilt kept secret. I believe that a system without proper respect for the rights of Western visitors is not entitled to Western income from tourism and damages the international reputation of Nepal.
