We believe that every human trafficking survivor can achieve her individual dream and potential. We envision a Nepal where each survivor is equipped with the self-esteem, skills, and knowledge necessary to become a leader in her chosen field.

Our mission
We need to end the physical and sexual exploitation of women and girl’s, ensure their legal rights, and empower them to live free and dignified lives.

SASANE specializes in advocacy for the right of the trafficking survivors and against human trafficking, improving the education services, awareness level and the livelihood opportunities for the family and the victims of human trafficking in very remote mountain villages of Nepal.

Programs:
SASANE programs aim to break the cycles of exploitation, increase women’s access to justice, and reintegrate survivors into society as valued and respected members of their community.
• Paralegal Program: SASANE’s paralegals are re-integrated into society not only with education and job skills but as women leaders who understand their legal rights. The main paralegal activities include free application and complaint filing in police stations, evidence and filed case data collection and legal assistance throughout case proceedings. As paralegals, survivors provide access to justice, free of charge to other survivors of human trafficking and gender-based violence in different police stations of Nepal.
• School for Justice Nepal: This program ensures the empowerment and independence of female survivors of trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation by ensuring quality education and advocacy for these survivors to demand and gain justice.
• Community Outreach Program: The Community Outreach program has been able to reach 10 working communities in remote villages with the purpose of providing literacy skills to men women and children through general education, life skill trainings, health and hygiene awareness and income generation opportunities. This program includes SASANE’S handmade beaded bracelet’s program, which is a small budget skill generation program where groups are trained to make bracelets. All of the proceeds from these bracelets contribute to the Mountain Village Education program.
• School Awareness Program: The School Awareness Program intends to educate school children on various aspects of trafficking, violence, policies and related laws to reduce the risk of being trafficked and exploited. The program provides anti-trafficking awareness education to 60 public schools yearly in Kathmandu and Pokhara and distributes necessary resources in the remote areas. SASANE is planning to extend its School Awareness Program to earthquake-affected districts focusing on the vulnerable children of remote areas.
• Life-skill development training:
The young female survivors are provided with life-skill training where they are learn to prepare items like key-chains, slippers, necklace in the organization itself. This program ensures that the survivors do not get post traumatic stress disorder by engaging them in life-skills.
