live
a full life, free from poverty, malnutrition, poor health,
WASH and illiteracy. We work district–wisely for
profound change
that eradicates the causes of poverty, striving to achieve equality, dignity

Our Mission
To empower children, young
people and women, especially from
marginalized, social groups and most vulnerable so
that they become capable

and wellbeing. Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of dignity, freedom and hope, of power
over their own lives. An
end
to poverty, poor health and illiteracy and we believe that vision can become a
reality.

poverty, poor health

Struggle for justice – Poverty is a condition created by an unjust society, denying people access to , and control over, the resources they need to live a full life. So we take the side of poor and marginalised people as they
struggle to realise their civil, political,
economic, health, social and cultural rights. We believe in the just an
sustainable use of the earth and its resources, so that the greed of
one
generation will not create poverty for the
next.

communities from the outside.

of 2015, and how do you support them?
On 25 April 2015, a series of 7.8 magnitude earthquakes has devastated
entire communities in Nuwakot. According to government statistics, 1045 people
died, 2700 were serious injured and 4000 injured while Bidur Municipality and
61 VDCs were damaged (90%). 90% houses were completely destroyed. Nearly 78000
households were suffered damaged severely in the affected villages. It is
estimated that around 37714 domestic animals, the key source of people’s
livelihood, were killed. The majority of the populations in the affected
villages are farmers and low socioeconomic status with low hygienic and
environmental sanitation standards.

How extended is the issue of human trafficking in Nepal and what
sectors of society are at a major risk?
sectors of society are at a major risk?
Nuwakot District is mainly a primary source district for men, women,
and children who are subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. Some
Nuwakote women and girls are subjected to sex trafficking in major cities of
Kathmandu Valley of Nepal, in India, and the Middle East, and also are subjected
to forced labor in Nepal and India as domestic servants, beggars, factory
workers, mine workers, and in the entertainment industry, including in circuses
and in pornography. They are subjected to sex trafficking and forced labor in
other Asian destinations, including Malaysia, Hong Kong, and South Korea.
Nepali boys also are exploited in domestic servitude and in addition to some
Indian boys are subjected to forced labor in Nepal, especially in brick kilns
and the embroidered textiles industry. One is concerned that China is an
emerging sex trafficking hub for Nepali girls. There were reports of
traffickers in the remote Nuwakot region who deceive families into sending
their children to urban areas with false promises of schooling. Many of these children,
however, are never sent to schools and some end up in forced labor, including
forced begging. Bonded labor exists in agriculture, brick kilns, and the
stone-breaking industry. Particularly in agriculture, this is often based on
caste lines, where traditional landlord castes use debt bondage to secure
unpaid labor from Dalit laborers. Traffickers generally target uneducated
people, especially from socially marginalized and traditionally excluded
groups. However, a growing number of victims are relatively poor skilled and
from traditionally privileged groups.

Many Nuwakote migrants seek work in domestic service, construction, or
other low-skilled sectors in Gulf countries, Malaysia, Israel, South Korea,
Afghanistan, and Libya with the help of Nepal-based labor brokers and manpower
agencies. They travel willingly but some subsequently face conditions
indicative of forced labor such as withholding of passports, restrictions on
movement, nonpayment of wages, threats, deprivation of food and sleep, and physical
or sexual abuse. Some are deceived about their destination country, the terms
of their contract, or are subjected to debt bondage, which can in some cases be
facilitated by fraud and high recruitment fees charged by unscrupulous agents.
Many workers migrate via India; this is illegal, due to the 2007 Foreign
Employment Act that requires all workers to leave for overseas work via the
Kathmandu airport. Many migrants leave by land because it is easier and cheaper
than traveling by air, and to avoid legal migration registration requirements,
the scrutiny of a labor migration desk in the airport, and bribes that some
officials reportedly require at the airport to secure migration documents. A
recent survey of returned migrants served by the Gos and NGOs assessed that 67
percent of female Nepali workers who returned from the Gulf were unhealthy;
most disorders were psychological illnesses. The Government of Nepal does not
fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking;
however, it is making significant efforts to do so, despite limited resources.
During the year, the government has to establish a strong Central Crime
Investigative Bureau’s special unit to investigate trafficking and increase its
direct financial support for protective services in Nepal and abroad. Incidents
of trafficking-related complicity by government officials were not documented
by the government, but reported by civil society. The lack of proactive victim
identification remained a serious problem in Nuwakot to Nepal.

Trafficking and sexual abuse of girls in the name of tradition still
flourishes in the VDCs (Village Development Committees – Local Government
Region Authority) of Nuwakot District.
The most visible forms are the Poverty and Awareness among the poor
community of Nuwakot. Documentation of
children in the sex industry has not given attention to this traditional source
area and hence quantitative estimates cannot be made. Nevertheless, it is well known that the
tradition exists and the exploitation of women and children continues.

Goal of the KCDC:
This project aims to test the efficacy of certain approaches and
methods to combat trafficking and sexual abuse of women and children in source
areas. The lessons learnt from this previous project could then be replicated
and up scaled for a wider outreach.

an awareness campaign
targeting all stakeholders and vulnerable areas
so as to create an environment
that does not accept any form of trafficking. The campaign must address

Approach:
Project is needed in thrust; programs
activities can be broadly classified as: (i) those that take a
community based approach with demand driven and a welfare-orientation and (ii) those that take a bottom-up (or community–based) approach and have an empowerment orientation. The top- down/welfare-oriented programs are generally one-time activities that concentrate on raising awareness, with only minimal follow-up or subsequent community–level support.
They tend to be prescriptive (telling people what to do) rather than facilitating a process of informed decision–making. Bottom–up/empowerment–oriented programs tend to be rooted in communities and usually address trafficking in the context of other needs and priorities with empowerment as an overall aim. They also tend to establish community or group support systems to help those in difficult circumstances and to address trafficking from a position
of collective strength.

Working Approach of KCDC
Do you cooperate with local authorities and institutions? If yes, how?
Coordination with District Stakeholders and
Community Stakeholders:
Community Stakeholders:
KCDC works and coordinate with District Stakeholders and Community
Stakeholder, other agencies, organizations, groups or individuals who have a direct or indirect
interest in the counter-trafficking activities and responses,
and who affect or are positively
or negatively affected, by the implementation of activities. Stakeholders
could include governments, donor communities, implementation partners,
businesses and project beneficiaries.
Relevant stakeholders should work together to develop or finalize
instruments, procedures, performance indicators, recommendations, etc. This is important because a comprehensive,
collaborative and Coordination approach is necessary to countering trafficking
in persons in an effective and sustainable way; no single group, agency or
individual can do this alone.
