This article from the Sunday Times (available to read, in full, with subscription) reports on the child-trafficking scandal in Nepal in light of the recent earthquake. According to the article, many children have been placed into illegal orphanages in Nepal since the earthquakes hit, but many of these children are not actually orphans. Instead, traffickers are capitalizing on increased vulnerability in the months following the earthquake to exploit children and to recruit them into money-making orphanages.
