In her talk, Meeta will shed light on the alarming reality of girls trafficking in Nepal, especially in rural and marginalized areas. She will explore how democratic education—with its focus on critical thinking, awareness of rights, and gender equity—can act as a powerful tool to prevent trafficking and restore dignity and agency to girls at risk.
