A US anti-trafficking organisation, in partnership with a Nepalese NGO, has just completed a first-of-its-kind raid and arrest of two major traffickers. For the first time, the Indian Police Special Task force partnered with US and Nepalese organisations in this way. The Kathmandu Post reported, ‘After a tip-off received by the crime branch of the Indian Police, officers raided an apartment in New Delhi on Friday and rounded up two suspected traffickers and eleven women. This was after Shanti Peace Rehabilitation Centre and Free for Life International, organisations working against trafficking, had given information about the trafficking of Nepali women to various Gulf countries via New Delhi and Colombo.’ It has now been revealed that the two traffickers had been sending up to forty trafficked women a month to Iraq and Kuwait.
