WSH: Desperation Attracts Deception – Asha’s Story

Desperate for a better future, Asha was scammed while seeking work abroad but found hope and support at our Women’s Safe Haven and Vocational Center.

For the past 3 years, 3 Angels Nepal (3AN) have been effectively working along the Indo-Nepal borders intercepting and rescuing the victims of Human Trafficking from being taken in to the brothels of India for sex slavery. In partnership with Captivating International Foundation, the rescue program of Human Trafficking was further extended to Eastern and Central regions of Nepal from last year 2013.
On March 27th 2014, ABC National Television visited 3AN operations in Pokhara and prepared a documentary on the issue of Human Trafficking that 3AN was effectively involved in for the past several years. Dr. Rajendra Gautam, the Founder of 3AN, was interviewed as part of the documentary which aired from the ABC channel for 20 minutes bringing awareness to the Nepali community at large.
This was a great honor and a great achievement for 3AN. Captivating is proud to be partnering with them to bring hope and a future to girls whose lives are at high risk.
