What Now?

Rescuing women who have been victimized by the 32 billion dollar a year human trafficking industry is definitely central to the mission of ending modern day slavery. But how did these women become victims of trafficking in the first place? Some women are drugged and abducted while some of the younger girls are actually sold by their parents. However, there are a great deal of young women who become victims of human trafficking because they are tricked into thinking that they will be able to improve their lives and the lives of their families by making money in another city or country. In countries like Nepal, many people can barely afford food and lodging, let alone an education. This situation makes it easier to trick young girls into a life of slavery. This is why organizations like our Nepali partner, that rescue women from a life of exploitation, are so very important. But what happens after these women are rescued? What happens after they are rehabilitated? What happens after they are given job training? These are the questions that L*PIDA is here to answer.
