1. Maiti Nepal

3. Maiti Nepal was born out of a crusade to
protect Nepali girls and women from crimes
like domestic violence, trafficking for flesh
trade, child prostitution, child labor and
various forms of abuse, exploitation and
torture. In 1993, a group of socially committed
professionals like teachers, journalists and
social workers together formed Maiti Nepal to
fight against the social evils inflicted upon our
female populace.

4. Anuradha Koirala found the seeds of service early in her childhood from her family, who
believed in helping others. Her grandfather would often tell her: you may eat one meal less,
but do not let the needy go hungry. Today, Anuradha Koirala has become a household name in
Nepal for her efforts in rescuing and rehabilitating women. Lovingly called Dijju, meaning elder
sister in Nepali, Anuradha Koirala was born on April 14, 1949, to Colonel Pratap Singh Gurung
and Laxmi Gurung. She received her education at St. Joseph Convent , a hill station in
Kalimpong, India. The Mother and Sisters of her school further deepened her devotion
towards service and social work. Watching Mother Teresa’s work when she was studying in
Calcutta influenced and inspired her greatly. Her father’s dream of making her a lawyer and
her dream to become an air hostess took a backseat as the desire to serve flourished.
As a survivor of oppression herself, Ms. Koirala wanted to empower women. ‘Don’t beg, do
something. You have the capabilities,’ she used to tell the women around Pashupati who were
begging. She was juggling with her circumstances – being a single mother and teaching at a
school, all the while she began helping women around her.

5. Birth of Maiti Nepal
Maiti Nepal was born out of the conscious efforts of teachers,
journalists, and social workers who banded together to fight social
evils inflicted upon women. Spearheaded by the founder,
Anuradha Koirala, the organization began in 1993. The primary
focus of the organization is preventing trafficking for forced
prostitution, rescuing survivors of the flesh trade, and
rehabilitating rescued women.
Alongside, Maiti Nepal also actively works to provide justice for

7. “Surakshya” Sanitary Napkins
Surakshya, meaning protection in Nepali, is a sanitary
napkin-making project implemented by Maiti Nepal in
collaboration with Standard Chartered Bank in 2019. The
project was operated inside the premises of Maiti Nepal at
Pingalasthan, Gaushala, Kathmandu. The project’s main
objective was to empower high-risk girls/women through the
production of low-cost sanitary napkins. The product is
chemical free which is an added benefit.
The project ensured a sustainable business model and
promotes safe menstrual hygiene. Additionally, it intends to
provide entrepreneurship skills to girls and women who are
survivors of human trafficking and other forms of crimes and
abuse. The women and girls involved received education and
awareness about human trafficking and exploitation.

8. Maiti Nepal’s Response to COVID’19.
Maiti Nepal has been fighting human trafficking to protect Nepali girls and women from
crimes like domestic violence, trafficking for flesh trade, child prostitution, and other
forms of exploitation for almost 28 years. However, the novel coronavirus of 2019
brought about a severe respiratory disease named COVID’19 that has brought the whole
world to a standstill. Our country Nepal too was not spared from this disease causing the
government to impose a nationwide lockdown and halt all activities apart from
essentials. This lockdown hindered Maiti Nepal’s activities albeit operations have not
been fully shut down.
Maiti Nepal is a family of more than 176 staffs dedicated to this cause. Even though the
lockdown was imposed from 24th March 2020, we have continued to provide regular
services to more than 400 girls, women, and children in the shelter homes in Kathmandu.
This support was not limited to just inside the shelter homes, but even outside these
premises where more than 100 girls and women who once were sheltered by Maiti Nepal
are living independently.

10. Maiti Nepal an organization devoted to combating human trafficking
including violence against women and children; is engaged in protection,
rescue and rehabilitation of survivors of trafficking by promoting their
human rights in diversified avenues. Activities include awareness
campaigns among general public, people with low level of awareness,
school and college students, parliamentarians, law enforcement
agencies, Village Development Committees (VDC), and concerned
agencies.
Maiti Nepal takes every opportunity to create greater sensitivity and
generate broader solidarity among national law makers, Nepalese
government agencies, and at regional and international levels. With its
head office in Kathmandu, Maiti Nepal has three regional offices located
in the Eastern, Central and Western regions of the country. The
headquarters of the regional offices are in Kakarvitta in Eastern Nepal,
Chitwan in Central Nepal and Bhairahawa in Western Nepal.
