BORDER & TRANSIT MONITORING
INDIA
the need.
The “open” border between India and Nepal is fertile ground for the trafficking of women and girls. Passing through this border is an informal process, and Indian and Nepalese citizens can travel from country to country without any documentation. This is an opportunity human traffickers recognize and exploit.
Free for Life’s cornerstone program is border & transit monitoring in India and Nepal. Through this program, trained staff members identify warning signs and intervene to rescue victims. This unique approach is highly effective within the region, and one of the most ethical forms of rescue to exist.

Devina
The heat of the sun made it hard to breathe, as Devina wiped the sweat off of her forehead. She had been riding on a cramped and uncomfortable bus for nearly five hours when it finally stopped for a break. Devina leaned her head against the warm glass of the window while the woman next to her sat texting, hardly ever looking up from her phone.
Ananya
One day, Ananya heard there would be a festival in a nearby town. Here, she could meet up with friends and even take a small break from her abusive home life. While at the festival, she was introduced to a handsome stranger through some of her friends.
