Abstract

Sex trafficking indicates selling people for the purpose of forcefully involving them in sexual activities and generates income or takes physical pleasure. In Nepal, women are being sold in the Indian sex market where they are forced to sexually satisfy the customers but in return they will not get any benefits; even their basic human rights are also snatched. As it is legally and culturally criminal activity, related authorities are being actively working against sex trafficking but still they have not achieved considerable outcomes. In this research, I as an author attempts to investigate the causes behind women sex trafficking and roles of NGOs to stop this criminal activity in the context of Nepal. The research has been divided into eight chapters to solve overall research question. The first chapter offers general introduction or background of the research that make readers ready to penetrate into different chapters and find solution of the problem. It plays the role of catalyst to motivate the readers. Likewise, the second chapter provides the background information of the case. Similarly, the third chapter offers methodology, which describes how the research is going to be accomplished. It is mixed research that uses both primary and secondary information.
