Ashma is a CSEC survivor. CSEC stands for commercial sexual exploitation of children. She was referred to us by our partnering organization Shakti Samuha, a local Nepalese organization that fights against human trafficking.
Ashma comes from a poor economic background and belongs to a marginalized minority group in Nepal. She was deprived of education in her childhood years. Shakti Samuha has provided her with shelter and has supported her to continue with her education. Although Ashma went through a difficult time in her life, she is now motivated to achieve more in life. She is currently taking Trekking Guide Training and Karate Training. She is also very keen to join sports and especially trail running.
