The 1,758-kilometre (1,092-mile) border between Nepal and India is known as one of the busiest human trafficking gateways in the world. But since the 2015 earthquake in Nepal - which killed nearly 9,000 people, severely disrupted social and economic structures, and sank scores into destitution - thousands of Nepalese have been trafficked across the border and vanished, never to return.

Outside of the Himalayan nation, Nepalese victims are plunged into the world of human trafficking in different ways. Some who hoped to find jobs as domestic workers in India or Gulf countries have ended up being trafficked and raped in brothels abroad. Others were simply whisked away from their families and sold to brothels in India
