VIN conducts awareness program against human trafficking in its community in Kathmandu and the program conducted in Okhaldhunga is not different from it. However, the program conducted in Okhaldhunga is even more impactful since the locals from Okhaldhunga are more vulnerable to the issue of human trafficking. This program was conducted especially targeting the students as generally in context of Nepal, the young people are the victim of trafficking.
