A conference of Asian countries on human trafficking was recently held in Thailand. In which Sunita Danuwar was also in the representative team of Nepal.

In the conference organized on how the campaign against women trafficking, sexual slavery and violence against women should be organized in different countries, Sunita had the opportunity to understand the situation of many countries and explain the situation of Nepal to others. After returning from Thailand last week, Sunita and colleague Charimaya Tamang reached Sindhupalchok, where they were active in discussions on how to make the campaign to stop human trafficking more effective. 

Sunita's journey suddenly came to a complete halt on Monday morning while she was working on ways to implement the strategy at the national and international levels. Sunita, who has been involved in empowering women victims of trafficking for two decades, died of a heart attack at the age of 47. She is also the author of 'Ansuki Shakti' and the founder and former president of Shakti Group. 'It's hard for me to talk now, it's like the ground I'm standing on is shaking,' Charimaya, Sunita's companion in the campaign against human trafficking, said emotionally, 'I can't even believe that he's not with us, it's unimaginable.' Shakti Group has a rehabilitation center run with the financial support of the Ministry of Children and Senior Citizens. Where Sunita and Charimaya, who are members of the National Human Trafficking and Trafficking Control Committee, went last week for meetings, monitoring and advice on behalf of the committee. 

'We went there with the secretary of the ministry to plan how to do it better,' says Charimaya, 'now suddenly I can't accept hearing about such an incident.' Smriti is currently hurt. "We met for the first time in Kirtipur," he says, "we got married in 2055, today it is broken." Sunita started the Sunita Foundation in 2018. In which her daughter Swastika, who is doing her master's degree in law, was helping. "After first working in Shakti Group, I supported him to start a foundation under his own name," adds Nrip, "now we will continue this even if it is to fulfill his dream." 

Sunita's sons and daughters who are visiting India are also shocked by the news of her death. Those who know Sunita closely call her 'a beautiful flower blooming among thorns'. After being trafficked, Sunita not only got herself out of it with struggle and bravery, but also stood up against human trafficking. She devoted her entire life to the rehabilitation of trafficked women. At the age of 14, she was sold to India by two Nepalis. After living a painful life for four years, she was rescued in February 2052 along with more than 500 teenage girls. Sunita returned to Nepal in 2053 after spending six months in an Indian government rescue center. She had already decided, "I will work for the victims of trafficking." Soon after, she and 15 friends opened "Shakti Group", later she became the president of the organization.
