While this general phenomenon is evidenced in all developing countries, it is especially conspicuous in Nepal, where there are only a few major cities, the most prominent being the capital, Kathmandu. A large number of girls and women who travel to Kathmandu in search of work ultimately find jobs in dance bars, massage parlours and cabin-style restaurants. Nepal has imposed legal restrictions on the commercial sex industry. Any act related to commercial sex work and pornography is considered a public offence. Despite these efforts, recent research and news reports have identified several areas in Nepal where the sex business is flourishing. Specifically, establishments billed as dance bars, cabin restaurants and massage parlours represent locations where sex is sold. Research reports state that young girls working in these places are at risk of exploitation and abuse and the alarming growth in the number of these establishments across the country indicates that many more young girls may become vulnerable to commercial sexual exploitation and other forms of harm. Young people from the organizations Bishwas Nepal, Child Workers in Nepal Concerned Centre (CWIN) and Maiti Nepal, affiliated with the Youth Partnership Project for Child Survivors of Commercial Sexual Exploitation in South Asia (YPP), developed and conducted a survey in an effort to identify factors causing young people working in Kathmandu cabin restaurants, dance bars, massage parlours and dohori restaurants to be vulnerable to exploitation and harm. The research also aimed to develop an understanding of the awareness of young people working in these areas of their potential vulnerability. Finally, the research attempts to explore possible effective measures for improving and ensuring the protection of these young people. Details: Bangkok: Maiti Nepal, 2010. 88p.
