A Safe Haven in Nepal
27,194 views
2010 CNN Hero of the Year, Anuradha Koirala, started Maiti Nepal (roughly translated to "mother's home") to protect Nepali women and girls from crimes such as domestic violence, trafficking, prostitution, child labor, and other forms of exploitation and torture. Since 1993, Maiti Nepal has helped rescue and rehabilitate more than 12,000 women and girls, providing a safe place for them to recover and grow. The children call Koirala "elder sister," a moniker she accepts with pride. "You have to take each child as your daughter," Koirala urges, and asks you to join hands to create a society free of human trafficking.

There are no easy solutions. Change has to come to the minds of those that think this is alright. It is not special just to India, it is a world problem, more wide spread than we even know. It is not just a problem of developing countries where money is scarce and girls are sold for economic reasons. Time to make it stop. Awareness. Another hero for her people. Half the Earth is being subjected to such horrors.
