Introduction

Raksha Nepal (RN) is an NGO established in 2004. RN is run by women and girls who have been sexually exploited. Therefore, the organization is dedicated to those women and girls who have landed knowingly and unknowingly in a distressing profession, such as prostitution. In its initiation to empower these women and girls, RN is committed to make them aware of how to protect themselves in their current roles, and build their capacity to identify alternative livelihood opportunities to start a safe and respectful life. Raksha Nepal believes that once girls and women are confident and educated the entire family becomes educated. This is one of the reasons that the organization is determined and committed to work towards the overall wellbeing of women and girls who are sexually exploited.
