Free a Girl is dedicated to fight child prostitution and impunity. Free a Girl rescued more than 4,500 minor girls worldwide. As well as rescues, they focus on prevention, tackling impunity, lobbying and advocacy, and rehabilitating and reintegrating the girls. Free a Girl works with fourteen partner organizations in Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Iraq, Laos, Nepal, the Netherlands, and Thailand.
Women and children in Nepal are vulnerable to human trafficking because of poverty, illiteracy, natural
disasters and patriarchal social norms. Nepal is considered a destination and transit country for child
trafficking. Every year 6,000-12,000 girls from Nepal are taken to various destinations around the
world, mainly India and the Middle East for various forms of forced labour and commercial (sexual)
exploitation. The Nepal Alliances project is a project where the two partners Maiti Nepal and Shakti
Samuha cooperate to enhance and strengthen their cooperation and use each other’s expertise since
2017. A programme evaluation was conducted by BfW Services with the following objectives:
• Objective 1: To assess if the intended output, outcome, and impact of the Program are realized and the extent of Free a Girl’s (partner) contribution towards the change.
• Objective 2: To assess Free a Girl’s performance against the key research questions of Relevance, Effectiveness, Impact, Sustainability, Scalability and Lessons learned.
