CNN's Freedom Project Focuses on Human Trafficking in Nepal


In June, The CNN Freedom Project shines a light on the shocking trade of human life in Nepal.

Actress and anti-sex trafficking activist Demi Moore anchors the documentary and joins 2010 CNN Hero of the Year Anuradha Koirala to focus on her organization, Maiti Nepal, which has rescued more than 12,000 stolen Nepalese children from sex trafficking since 1993.

Nepal’s Stolen Children followsMoore as she spends time in the Maiti Nepal shelter, hearing emotional first-hand accounts from dozens of girls who have been trafficked. She travels to Bhairahawa, a hotbed of human trafficking where girls fromNepal are smuggled intoIndia to work in the sex trade and also meetsNepal’s Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal, to discuss the business of sex trafficking in his country.
