Maiti Nepal works closely with the Nepali government to improve the interception of trafficked women and girls. Maiti Nepal’s staff assists the border police by interviewing every vulnerable girl and woman who crosses the border while their traveling companions are interrogated by the police. Maiti Nepal also operates transit homes along the Nepali and Indian border in order to provide shelter and services for the trafficked girls and women identified through their intervention. Maiti Nepal’s border guarding operation has not only rescued hundreds of potential trafficking victims. The tactic has also resulted in legal proceedings against human traffickers, putting pressure upon local administrations to take action against the criminals.
