Children collect coins

Children collect coins or valuables with magnets, from corpses washed in the sacred bagmati river. The earthquake has left thousands of orphans, The government tries to avoid as much as possible to send the children to orphanages and so entrusts them to the closest relatives, and it is they who often sell them for a few dollars. Human trafficking, trafficking in girls and children remains a major challenge for the country. Every day girls and children are sold, bought, reduced to sexual slavery, forced into prostitution, to perform forced labor and trafficking in organs. The numbers are appalling: according to Unicef estimates, 15,000 children are sold every year. The number of NGOs in Kathmandu is 25,000.
