Two Nepali girls who had been living in orphanages in India for a long time have been brought back to their home.
Sunita Jairu, the repatriation officer of the anti-human trafficking organization, Andarandi India Foundation, brought back a 22-year-old girl from Dhanushadham Municipality in Dhanusha and a 22-year-old girl from Birgunj-21 in Parsa to Birgunj.
Both girls are currently living in the shelter home at the Andarandi Nepal Birgunj branch. Contact has been established with their relatives and relatives are coming to Birgunj to pick them up, informed Manu Rana, the head of the Andarandi Nepal Birgunj branch.
The 22-year-old girl from Birgunj was married to a young man from Gonda, Uttar Pradesh, India, at the age of 15 in 2019. After physical and mental torture started at home, her mental condition deteriorated and she left home in 2023.
During that time, the police found her in a deranged state on Bhikhapur Road in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India and placed her in a government women's shelter there.
After receiving shelter there for 3 years and recovering mentally, the girl told her family's address, and the Indian police contacted the Relatives India Foundation Delhi through the Nepali Embassy in Delhi.
Similarly, a 22-year-old girl from Dhanushadham was married off 4 years ago at the age of 18. After her husband became mentally ill and started beating her excessively, the society married her off to her own brother-in-law.
After both her husbands physically and mentally abused her and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law started abusing her, she left home to escape from the hellish life. During that time, she reached Bharatpur city in Rajasthan state, India.
While boarding a train at the railway station, an NGO called 'Apna Ghar' there gave her shelter at the government girls' home in Sabai Madhopur. After she also told her family's address, the Andara India Foundation was informed about her.
Sunita Jairu, the foundation's repatriation officer, said that the return of both the girls was possible in coordination with the Nepali Embassy in Delhi and the Indian police.
