3.2 Human Trafficking

The faces: the sex trafficking; the labour trafficking (the forced work — the migrant workers' deception cases); the organ trade's darker corners; the child trafficking (the-orphanage-industry's faces). The Nepal reality: the origin-and-transit position (the open border; the destination reports — the gulf-and-India corridors); the Foreign Employment Act's interplay (the recruitment fraud — the labour law interface). The law: the Human Trafficking and Transportation (Control) Act 2064 — the offence's definitions (the trafficking, the transportation, the harbouring), the aggravated faces (the child, the organised), the victim's protections (the rehabilitation, the compensation), the punishment's ladder. The international frame: the Palermo Protocol (the definition's global standard); the SAARC convention on trafficking (the regional cooperation's instrument).
