STOP Girl Trafficking

9 March 2017

A physician and activist for women’s rights in Nepal, she has protected 20,000 girls from the threat of trafficking. How? By keeping them in school and partnering with our many passionate donors to give them an education through high school. This video, from 2010, has commentary by Aruna, best-selling author Jon Krakauer, and our foundation president Erica Stone.

This update, from 2016, evokes the continuing marvel of Aruna’s vision: eager, confident faces of young scholars in blue school uniforms. Girls in STOP Girl Trafficking are unlikely to drop out of school, get married early, or illegally migrate to work. And they don’t get trafficked.
