[Feyerick:] Well, last night CNN aired its fourth annual All-Star Tribute to heroes at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. And after almost two million votes were cast online, Anuradha Koirala was named Hero of the Year for her work rescuing more than 12,000 women and girls from sex slavery. CNN's Anderson Cooper sat down with Anuradha, nicknamed "Terminator," to talk about her great work.
[Anderson Cooper, Host, "ac 360":] You've been named 2010 CNN Hero of the Year. How are you feeling?
[Anuradha Koirala, 2010 Cnn Hero Of The Year:] Well, I feel that there are more responsibilities now on me.
[Cooper:] You feel more people are now looking at you, more people know of you?
[Koirala:] Yes, of course. Now I feel that they will be not only looking at me, but they will know the issue more issue the issue which we have taken up, the sex trafficking.
[Cooper:] You seem like such a quiet lady, but I know your nickname is "The Terminator." Why do they call you "The Terminator"?
[Koirala:] If your daughter or mine it doesn't make whose daughter, everybody's daughter was trafficked, and if you catch hold of a trafficker, do you think then you're going to go, "Oh, how sweet you are, you did such a nice job, you took my daughter"? Or will you start giving him roses? If I have to confront a trafficker, then I can really hit hard.
[Cooper:] When your children see you winning this award tonight, what do you think they will think?
[Koirala:] I've already sent a message and they're all crying. And I know they will be very happy about it, and I know they will be very happy.
[Cooper:] This award comes with $100,000. In total, $125,000. What will that money mean to your work, to your mission? There is only one woman's hospital in all of Nepal. That's in the capital. But what about the other parts of the country where there is poverty, poverty, poverty? So I'm thinking that I will double up women and children's hospitals with this. Have you ever thought about giving up? Have there been days where you thought, I'm going to stop this?
[Koirala:] Never.
[Cooper:] Never?
[Koirala:] Never.
[Cooper:] Well, congratulations. It's such an honor to meet you.
[Koirala:] Thank you so much. Thank you.
[Cooper:] Thank you.
[Feyerick:] Well, really inspiring stuff. And if you missed the CNN Heroes broadcast, you have two more chances to watch, Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern and 5:00 p.m. Pacific.
