Free for Life International, a non-profit organization based in Franklin, Tennessee in partnership with Peace Rehabilitation Center (P.R.C.) of Kathmandu, Nepal is pleased to announce the opening of the very first human trafficking border monitoring station on the Tibet border. This station is designed to prevent the buying and selling of young Nepali girls into Tibet. Traffickers continue to lure young women through false promises of a better life, but instead of prosperity what awaits them is a life of sexual slavery. Each year an estimated 1,000 young Nepali women are trafficked out of the country.
Free for Life and P.R.C. have experienced remarkable success at their existing Krishnanagar monitoring station along the Indo-Nepal border. In the past 15 months at this station, 117 girls have been rescued from a life of sex slavery, and 9 traffickers have been brought to justice.
Anti-trafficking experts report an alarming increase in sex trafficking into the border town of Zhangmu, Tibet which is popular with tourists. Free for Life believes that this groundbreaking border station, located at this crossing, has the potential to prevent and/or rescue hundreds of young girls from a life of slavery.
