Taking on Nepal's Sex Traffickers
Anuradha Koirala trains former sex workers to spot signs of trafficking on Nepal's mountainous borders.

The country has long been a target for traffickers - but one woman is risking her life to stop them. Sixty-seven-year-old Anuradha Koirala is the founder of Maiti Nepal. The charity has rescued 30,000 women and girls, helped to convict 1200 traffickers, and runs refuges for women who have escaped the sex trade.
