Maiti Nepal: Rescued Girls back to thumbnails
Nepalese girls who, wearing make-up and dressed up, walk down the streets of Kathmandu, Nepal. It has been estimated that between 5,000 and l5,000 women and children are taken from Nepal to India to be exploited in the prostitution market. Many girls end up in brothels in India where they remain prisoners for many years, until they become infected with AIDS and are then left to fend for themselves. In the meantime they have to work like slaves, in unhygienic conditions, from 10 to 16 hours a day, sometimes serving more than 40 clients a day, so that they can pay the debt they incur as soon as they arrive at the brothel.
