29 People, Including 13 Kids, Rescued in Nepal
During a single week last month (August), border agents rescued 29 people from traffickers trying to lure them out of the country.
Human traffickers lie to their Nepali targets, falsely promising love, a day in the city or a better job. They specifically target individuals who are financially desperate, emotionally vulnerable or just innocently naïve. The 13 children who traffickers targeted were 10–17 years old.
