KATHMANDU: Despite various campaigns running across the country against girl trafficking, incidents of this kind are going unabated.

A recent report made public today stated that a total of 60 girls were rescued from being trafficked in the past one year in the pretext of foreign employment.

All of them were below 18 years.

The report prepared by Bishwas Nepal, an NGO working against human trafficking, said most children and girls victimised by the April 25 earthquake were susceptible to trafficking in particular.

“They were rescued from restaurants at New Bus Park and surrounding areas,” said Tara Bhandari, chairperson of the NGO.
