dc.description.abstractThis paper explores socially constructed root causes of trafficking of women and children exploited in sex trade using the case of Nepal. As of yet no single study has attempted to examine gender violence that has escalated the trafficking of women and children from a social justice approach. Recognizing the dearth of literature and the need for further study to explore the multi-layer risk factors, as well as the increasingly oppressive culture and vulnerability for women and girls to trafficking, this research was initiated in collaboration with trafficking survivors exploited in sex trade. Employing a Participatory Action Research (PAR), focus groups, peer interviews and photo-voices were used as collective knowledge generation methods. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted to understand the issue of trafficking in depth. A comprehensive analysis of causal factors of trafficking of women and children as substantive outcomes of the study process are presented, grounded in individual narratives. Implications for social work education and practice are briefly highlighted in this paper.en_US
