Description: Human Rights: Children's and Women's Rights, NGO Positions - Our partner organizations work tirelessly for the promotion of gender justice, non-discriminatory and rights-based behaviors and practices. Among the thousands of individuals who are trafficked across Nepal's borders every year, the majority is women and children. It is estimated that Nepali women aged 15-30 make up 2.8% of the women in Indian brothels, and the numbers are sharply rising. Participants in this program often assist with research and reports and assist with grassroots projects as needed.

Highlights: Eliabroad.org works hard to ensure that volunteers also get a chance to explore beautiful Nepal! Participants usually plan weekend trips to float on the lake in Pokhara and ride the elephants in Chitwan. Visit our website to view a photojournal from a past intern!
