One is Too Many: a series on sex trafficking.
Drawing and Story by Kumi (below)
Art by a Nepali Women who had been trafficked.
Kumi told Myrna about her drawing:
"The parents are depressed because a broker took their child away from them. It shows a place where girls are taken and given cruel treatment. Letters are drawn on the right side of the picture because now the girl is learning to read."
This 20-year-old woman explained that she had no chance to go to school. She wants to study but she thinks she is too old. She loves the experience of learning to read. In 1996, Kuml was brought back to Nepal from India, where she was a held captive in a brothel.
She immediately returned home, but was ostracized by her village. She then went to ABC Nepal, an NGO that shelters former sex slaves. ABC Nepal is working to educate the village, in the hope that they will take herback.
