In India girls cuddle up
together on the steps of
notorious red light district
in Bombay, India, one of
Asia's largest sex markets.
Upstairs in the dilapidated
wooden brothels, children as
young as 10 peep from the
window. Using a secret camera,
we focus on girls kidnapped
from their villages in Nepal
and forced into prostitution
in Bombay. In a narrow attic,
we discover rows of sleeping
girls, concealed because
'Madame' heard there was a
foreign camera in the
vincinity. Desired by locals
and Arabs for their fair skin,
these girls are a rich
commodity. Back home poverty
stricken families are stunned
by the loss of their
daughters. In a Kathmandu
prison a rickshaw driver
receives 15 years for selling
his wife. Tragically, rescued
girls who return to Nepal
often find that their families
won't take them back because
they are prostitutes and
usually HIV positive. In a
care centre, they wait
patiently to be reclaimed.
Kidnapped at 13, Srijana
describes how she was raped by
six men. The Centre Director
and the Minister for Women
emphasize the need for
education and awareness. But
while the government
procrastinates, more and more
girls are forced into child
prostitution, and are robbed
of their innocence.
