According to the Freed Kamlari Development Forum (FKDF), there are more
than 300 Kamlaris (girls forced into child labor) in western Terai districts of
the country. The forum, along with other human rights groups has been urging
the government to place the Kamlari tradition as a criminal act but the
tradition still continues in Kailali district, far-western Nepal where they are
living under exploitative situations. Nepal government had banned such
practices about thirteen years ago.
