This document provides guidelines to reintegrating trafficked and displaced children in Nepal, based on the approach and methodology developed and utilized by Next Generation Nepal (NGN) and The Himalayan Innovative Society (THIS). The guidelines have been grouped into distinct chapters, including: (1) introduction; (2) explanation of the process whereby children are displaced from their families by traffickers, how and why they are institutionalized in children's homes and orphanages, and the negative impact that this has on the children; (3) overview of the working context that organizations and individuals must work within in Nepal, including Nepal’s child protection legal framework, the key Government bodies, and relevant working groups and associations; (4) the actual guidelines for how to reintegrate institutionalized children with their families in eight logical steps; (5) discussion on when parental reintegration is not possible; and (6) more information about NGN and THIS, including contact details and how to request support.
