The twenty – first century is witnessing a new kind of modern –day slavery and bondage. This is called   human trafficking. It has become a big business for the many individuals involved in this criminal act. Human trafficking, also called trafficking in person, is one of the greatest human rights challenges of our time. The practice is present across the globe in different dimension, such that some countries are used as source, some as transit, and some as destination. Trafficked victim are procured, transported, and enslaved in forced labor or used for sexual exploitation.
 
Trafficker manipulates the aspiration of those living in poverty and those seeking better lives. They promise trafficked victim a better life, good jobs, better wages and high standard of living ,using deceit to sell men ,women and children into situations of forced labor and sexual slavery, giving them neither security nor protection. A recent Nepal government report estimated that approximately 10000 thousand to 20000 thousand people are trafficked across international borders annually, and approximately 2000 of those victim are trafficked in to the Nepal each year. This estimate includes men; women and children trafficked in to forced labor and sexual exploitation as defined in the victim of trafficking and violence protection act of 2000.
