Interaction on ending Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Minors

Raksha Nepal has been continuously fighting against all forms of sexual violence against women, children and girls since its establishment. The organization has also been doing continuous cooperation and collaboration with government and non-governmental organizations in ending all forms of sexual violence. On 23^rd of May 2016, Chairperson of Raksha Nepal Menuka Thapa participated in a workshop organized by Central Children Welfare Committee to share experiences regarding commercial sexual exploitation of minors.

There was a mutual discussion and planning among Raksha Nepal, Ministry of Women, Children & Social Welfare, Central Child Welfare Committee of Legislative Assembly, Central Women Department, Nepal Police and others stakeholder organizations regarding the issues RESCUE & REHABILITATION of MINORS and WOMEN working in Cabin Restaurant, Dance bar, Massage parlour in vulnerable situation.

Along with Raksha Nepal, all the supreme authorities mentioned above concerning women and children all sat together and agreed on some important points. For example: immediately rescuing the minors under the age of 18 those who are working in cabin, dance, dohoree and massage parlour in a vulnerable state and make a rapid action team for the management and safe future of other girls.

It is expected that the dream of Raksha Nepal and effort initiated by the organization twelve years ago is going to materialize in a solid state now. Raksha Nepal strongly demands a severe legal punishment for the perpetrators who are playing against the honour of innocent women and children. Furthermore, Raksha Nepal highly appreciates the high level government authorities for their positive initiation and commitment in ending sexual violence against minors.
