PROSTITUTION : Could Feminish In Nepal Help??
Prostitution is one of the serious problems of Nepal. This morning when i go through newspaper, i came to see the news about girls trafficking and it terrified me. It is said that about 5000 girls are sold every year through different ways in Nepal.
From rural areas, illiterate girls, who are suffering from poverty are brought to cities by brokers on the pretext of good jobs. They are sold specially in various cities of India and forced to become a prostitute in a brothel. They have to serve many clients in a day.
They are not allowed to go outside. When such innocent young girls suffer from AIDS and other serve disease, then they are sent back to their home empty handed. They are not accepted by their family and society. They are ignored and hated.
Similarly some brokers bring innocent girls from remote villagers and sell them in factories of cities and towns. Such girls or women also have very difficult life because they have to work long hours with less wages.
Preventions:
1. Prostitution is an illegal act. It is essential to increase public awareness by joining hands among the conscious citizens and being active from every sector.
2. Meeting, marches and slogans can also increase public awareness. We can aware people by pulishing articles in newspapers.
3. Public should give pressure to the government for discouraging girl trafficking.
4. Information should reach to school teacher in the villages so they can make people aware of this crime. Many possible victims can protect themselves if they know how traffickers tempt them and what happens after that.
So it is not only important to rescue them from the brothels, it is equally important to rehabilitate them in the society. I think girls should be provided with a good employment opportunity. The government, general people and girls themselves should work together to fight against this social evil.
Thank you for your time!

Thank you for having the courage to speak out about the horrifying reality of prostitution in Nepal. As an ex prostitute here in Canada, I can attest that this way to generate income is riddled with shame and stigma and that one can loose one’s self because of it. These women and men are victims plain and simple, victims of a patriarchy which would discard us as damaged goods. Let alone the wrath we may face for speaking up against our oppressors. Pimps and Johns have to take responsibility for the evil of their ways and although I believe some of them are worst than others, it doesn’t change the fact that things have to change. The violence has to stop. The idea that we can reform prostitution is a mistake.
Thank you for joining with me! I am glad
the pictures are from india i think
Yes they are. Girls from Nepal are sold in India. So obviously the pictures are from India. Thank you!
I think in this case is the “consumer” that has to be educated on the matter. Chance the mentality of the “consumer” and you’ll eliminate the demand for prostitution world wide. Thanks for your article. UpVoted!
Because of poverty, they also have compulsion. I think the government are also blamed for this. Thank you for making my article even worth it. Means a lot.
