Kathmandu: The government has set the theme for observing the 20th national day against trafficking in person. The day is marked by creating awareness against human sales and trafficking to build a civilized society

The theme for the day to be observed on September 5 is: ‘Wise Use of Technology: Solidarity for the Country with Elimination of Trafficking in Person’. The theme is determined by the Ministry of Women, Children, Gender and Sexual Minorities and Social Security.

With the rapid use of technology these days, the sales and trafficking of human has entered a new mode, thereby warranting a right use of technology and social awareness.

Social networking site, advertisement of job online, fake assurance of jobs abroad, fraud and exploitation have been amplified.
