Nepal is a source , transit , and destination country for women and children subjected to sex trafficking . Nepali women and girls are subjected to sex trafficking in Nepal , India , the Middle East , Asia , and Sub-Saharan Africa . Unregistered migrants , including the large number of Nepalis who travel through India or rely on unregistered recruiting agents , are particularly vulnerable to sex trafficking . Some migrants from Bangladesh , Sri Lanka , and possibly other countries transit Nepal en route to employment in the Middle East , using potentially falsified Nepali travel documents , and may be subjected to human trafficking . Some government officials reportedly accept bribes to include false information in Nepali identity documents or provide fraudulent documents to prospective labor migrants , a tactic used by unscrupulous recruiters to evade recruitment regulations . Many Nepalis , including children , whose home or livelihood was destroyed by the 2015 earthquakes continue to be vulnerable to trafficking . Traffickers increasingly utilize social media and mobile technologies to lure and deceive their victims
