As we have open
borders in the east, west and the south with India, the free movement of general public across the borders has made
easier for trafficking to India and through India to other countries in the
Middle East. KIN has continued its border surveillance program in eight major
cross border points of Kakarvitta-Jhapa, Ranibari-Biratnagar,
Inaruwa-Birgunj, Madi-Chitwan, Maheshpur-Nawalparasi, Yatrugate & Lingate (2
border stations) in Krishnanagar, Sunauli- Rupandehi, Jamauna & Khadaicha-Nepalgunj
& Mahendranagar-Kanchanpur districts of Nepal. There is a
team of trained interceptors 4 - 8 in numbers in each border.
KIN's trained border
surveillance teams are on duty every day from morning to evening inquiring
every young village girl and her accompaniment crossing border into India to
distinguish her situation. They are always alert and looking into
the traffic, crowded streets and any possible areas and especially look for
traffickers (the person who are trying to take them across the border). If such
cases are found, the girls are taken into the counseling room in the emergency
shelters nearby each border we work and further investigation proceeds with the
support from local security authority. KIN provides food and
transportation to these girls and accompanying staff during the entire
process. 828 girls and women were rescued fin 2018. Likewise, 32 cases in 2018 and 20 cases in 2019 were registered.
20, 192 girls and women received information and counseling service through different borders where 1039 were rescued in 2019.
