At the Research Findings Dissemination Program on the Mapping of Child Rights Research in Nepal, organized by Consortium Nepal through project AASTHA, diverse voices came together with a shared purpose - to better understand the child rights landscape and explore how research can drive more effective action.

🤝 The program brought together Consortium Nepal member organizations, former presidents and advisors, development partners, research enthusiasts and teams from GSIF Nepal and the Good Shepherd Mission Development Office - India, creating a valuable platform for exchanging insights, identifying critical research gaps and strengthening collaboration to advance children's rights through evidence-based approaches.

💡 The discussions highlighted the importance of strengthening collaboration and building a stronger evidence base to inform child rights policies, advocacy and practice in Nepal.

Childhood should be a time for learning, playing, and dreaming. Not for working.

Pratikshya, from Nepal, was just a teenager when she was forced to leave school because of her family’s financial struggles, and work in a bar. Too young to fully understand the risks around her, she was deprived of her rights and the chance to simply be a child.

Yet, she never stopped dreaming of returning to school.

Through the Children Not Worker program, GSIF and Opportunity Village Nepal provided her with a safe space, counseling and the support she needed to help her start over.

Today, Pratikshya is back in school – more confident, more hopeful, and focused on the future she always dreamed of.

🌟Last Month, we had the pleasure of working with the inspiring members of the 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 (𝗡𝗖𝗔𝗖); a child-led platform facilitated by Consortium Nepal that brings together young advocates from all seven provinces of Nepal to champion child rights and meaningful child participation. 💙

Through 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗔𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗛𝗔, these young leaders came together to sharpen their advocacy skills, deepen their understanding of child rights and governance processes and explore how evidence and research can drive change. They reflected on the challenges children face across local, provincial and federal levels and transformed their ideas into practical advocacy recommendations and action plans.

What made the workshop truly special was witnessing children take ownership of their voices questioning, analyzing, researching and envisioning solutions for issues that matter to them and their peers. 🌱💡

Today, as they continue their work in their respective provinces, we celebrate their commitment, leadership and determination to create a Nepal where every child's voice is heard and valued. 🌟

This activity was conducted by Consortium-Nepal with the support of Misean Cara.

📢🌏Today is World Day Against Child Labour.

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, play, participate and grow in a safe environment. Yet, for millions of children around the world, childhood is interrupted by labour that limits their rights, potential and well-being.

Ending child labour requires more than keeping children out of work. It means ensuring access to education, strengthening protection systems and supporting families and communities with opportunities for sustainable and dignified livelihoods. 🧩

Across Nepal, we are supporting children affected by exploitation in Adult Entertainment Sectors, facilitating the safe return and reintegration of children rescued from different parts of India, promoting meaningful child participation and strengthening child protection mechanisms at local level to help create safer environments for children.🛡️✨

Others were taking their first steps toward entrepreneurship, eager to turn their ideas into sustainable ventures.

Led by facilitator 𝗕𝗵𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗶 𝗣𝘂𝗻, the training provided a participatory learning space where ideas were explored, challenges were discussed openly and business concepts were transformed into practical plans.

In May 2026, a coordinated cross-border rescue operation successfully brought 453 Nepali nationals to safety after they had fallen victim to labor exploitation and a fraudulent chain-business scam in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, India. The operation was carried out through the joint efforts of the Embassy of Nepal in India, Uttar Pradesh Police, KIN India, GSIF Nepal and Opportunity Village Nepal (OVN).

Many of the individuals had been lured by promises of attractive employment opportunities and later became trapped in exploitative conditions linked to deceptive recruitment and fraudulent business practices. Their rescue highlights the ongoing risks faced by migrant workers and job seekers who are targeted by such schemes.

This case underscores the need for greater awareness of safe migration practices, stronger protection mechanisms and continued cooperation among governments, law enforcement agencies, civil society organizations and communities. By working together, we can help prevent labor exploitation, human trafficking and other forms of abuse while ensuring that vulnerable individuals have access to support and protection.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all government authorities, law enforcement agencies, partner organizations and frontline responders whose collaboration and dedication made this operation possible and helped ensure the safety and protection of the affected individuals.

GSIF Nepal remains committed to safeguarding vulnerable individuals and strengthening efforts to prevent human trafficking, labor exploitation, and all forms of trafficking.
