An estimated 12,000 victims of sex trafficking cross the border between Nepal and India every year. The human trafficking industry, which is the world’s second largest criminal enterprise, is gaining momentum worldwide. It is a problem that is incredibly prevalent in Nepal, where women’s low status and insufficient education make them vulnerable targets for traffickers.  Our Red Thread bracelets provide an income for rescued girls.
