6 The resistance of householders in Nepal to the plight of child
domestic workers was expressed by field workers from the Nepal
NGO Children and Women in Social Service and Human Rights
(CWISH) during a 2006 study of internally displaced children by
Terre des hommes (Tdh) (see bibliography). The study of sex work
2010 Terre des hommes www.tdh.ch 120
in Mumbai and Kolkata conducted by Tdh in 2005 showed that
almost all men who had sex with Nepali prostitutes did not think
it was relevant that the girls and women had been trafficked.
7 More information can be obtained from Tdh on the situation in
Humla district from which 1,500 children have reportedly been
trafficked.

10 7,000 to 12,000 is a number of trafficked persons that has been
in currency for more than 15 years and has been repeated in many
documents. The source of that estimate is unknown. Recently, ILO
estimated the number of trafficked women and children to be
12,000. However, due to lack of supportive data, this number is
not founded on a reliable estimate of the number of victims crossing
national borders or the number of victims in exploitation in India.
