Deputy Superintendent of Police Godar says that it is an organized crime.
Among the three biggest organized crimes in the world, human trafficking is one of the main crimes. It is estimated by the police that human trafficking in Nepali society is currently being conducted in a hidden manner.
Anahat Nepal program manager Sanjay Dhakal said that because there is not much discussion about the internal dimensions of human trafficking, girls are brought to commercial centers under various temptations and forced into prostitution. He said that the girls involved in internal trafficking are mainly in the age group of 13 to 17 years.
