Publication by the Global Alliance against Traffic in Women (GAATW) On Sunita Foundation's Fight Against Trafficking: A Survivor's Dedication
Highlighted in a recent publication by the Global Alliance against Traffic in Women (GAATW), Sunita Foundation emerges as a potent force in combating human trafficking in Nepal. Founded by survivor Sunita, the organization's commitment is palpable in its multifaceted approach. Originating from Shakti Samuha in 1996, Sunita's journey led to the creation of Sunita Foundation, focusing on challenging societal stigma and empowering new generations. Their distinctive approach involves preventing trafficking by economically empowering youth through modern agriculture, particularly in rural areas. Despite active engagement with political parties, the foundation faces persistent challenges such as political instability, government cooperation issues, and limited funding. Addressing the evolving landscape of trafficking, the organization tackles new disguises like fake job offers, social media luring, and exploitation in various sectors, including entertainment. Beyond survivor support, the foundation concentrates on economic reintegration, vocational training, and community awareness programs, with mental health support prioritized for the team dealing with survivor cases. The discussion involved key figures, including Amrita (Psychosocial Counselor), Anamika (Project Officer), and Sunita (Founder President of Sunita Foundation), shedding light on the organization's challenges, triumphs, and ongoing efforts in the fight against human trafficking. Despite making strides, Sunita Foundation faces ongoing challenges due to limited resources and short project cycles common in anti-trafficking initiatives, emphasizing the need for sustained support in their tireless efforts to create a safer and more just world.
