101 East - Nepal's slave girls

Please Log in or Register to watch this video.

Slavery is banned in Nepal. But hidden behind the walls of city homes, some still keep young girls as slaves called kamlaris. The girls are from the Tharu community, an indigenous group that was stripped of its land and forced into bonded labour after Nepal's first social order was introduced 160 years ago. 101 East travels to western Nepal, home of the Tharus.
