Safe House for Girls,
Our Sansar
140 miles Southeast of Kathmandu, lies Janakpur. It’s one of the fastest developing cities in Nepal. But children here are very vulnerable to sexual exploitation, forced marriage, and child labour as servants, factory workers and beggars.
When a child falls victim to rape or abuse in this region, they are often rejected by society, their friends and even their families. They are left isolated, with nowhere to turn. It’s a heartbreaking situation.
After facing exploitation and abuse, even school is no longer a safe place, as they are shunned, ridiculed and bullied because of their experience.
