Now, boys also trafficked [from Nepal] to India, finds a new study

Many boys are working in the carpet factories under highly exploitative conditions..."The boys as young as six years of age have to work for at least 11 hours and at maximum 18 hours a day"...Those working in the hotels have to sleep on the tables, if not on the chilly floor..."Most of the trafficked boys don’t get money for the first three years, as the money has to go to the traffickers."
