Nepal's Women are being trafficked to the Middle East using New Delhi and Mumbai.

          In Nepal, the current situation is largely increasing for migrant workers from Nepal. This is making lack of manpower in nation which is very bad being such like underdeveloping country. Specially now a large number of women migrant workers are being traded illegally to Kuwait and other countries in the Middle East using Delhi and Bombay airports as transit points. The well-connected network of traffickers both in countries of transit and final destination presents a big challenge though Trafficking of migrant workers is emerging as a trans-national crime with well channelled international rackets exploiting legal loopholes and lack of proper coordination among concerned authorities, according to the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB). Those traffickers or agencies involved in human trafficking forge documents are making fake citizenship certificates and passports. And dealings between the workers and outsourcing agents remain clandestine. Even Indian and Bangladeshi nationals are found to be using the Nepali route and Nepali passports to go abroad. CIB investigations have found that many of those migrant workers, especailly women end up being tortured and sometimes even suffer sexual exploitation at the hands of their employers. Without earning and insurance cover they are left with no choice but to return carrying bitter memories. Some of them even commit suicide. While many are forced to run away from the torture of the employers and become stray. Nepali missions abroad receivee hundreds of cases of victimised migrant workers in each month.
