23 Nepali girls rescued from 'mission'
Our September rescue operation which freed 23 Nepali girls has been vindicated by the Child Welfare Council (CWC) in India.
The CWC has ordered the closure of the centre from which the children were freed.
The girls were in The Michael Job Centre in Tamil Nadu. The centre is well known to authorities in Nepal and India. It claimed to offer sanctuary to children of Christian martyrs; many of the children we rescued had in fact been taken there by known trafficking agent D B Phadera after their parents had paid what appears to amount to a placement fee.
We are planning the future care of these children, to work out who can safely be reunited with their family and who might need genuine residential refuge and support as they rebuild their lives.
