If you do wish to understand more about the issue, you might want to consider watching a documentary titled the day my god died. It is by far smong the best ones I have watched.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292071610905523230.post-6933497648974942892010-06-03T18:53:46.299-07:002010-06-03T18:53:46.299-07:00Alex, there are various NGOs and INGOs working tow...Alex, there are various NGOs and INGOs working towards rehabilitating the victims. Despite the Deuki and the Badi system being against the law, they are still practiced. It is indeed avery disturbing issue that never fails to stain the religious practices in Nepal. We have several UN projects working on the issue, but I just feel the government needs to pay more attention towards implementation of those passed laws.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292071610905523230.post-73239841564139579602010-03-24T09:06:51.760-07:002010-03-24T09:06:51.760-07:00Vishnu this was a fascinating post!

It is interesting to see the direct connection to certain traditional beliefs based on gender inequity which end up driving the HIV epidemic. It is often difficult to challenge traditional beliefs and customs... are there any sex workers rights groups in Nepal doing this work? <br /><br />Thanks again for this! Great work so far :)Alex McClellandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14089227905342884725noreply@blogger.com
