Who We Are
SASANE was established in 2008 by former female victims of human trafficking on the principle that survivors can create social change. SASANE has adopted a rights-based approach to break cycles of exploitation and victimization and address the conditions facilitating the recent increase in human trafficking and the explosive growth of Nepal‟s night entertainment sector. SASANE‟s innovative strategy of social change consults with and engages trafficking survivors in anti-trafficking activities to simultaneously transform the lives of other victims and tackle systemic inequality, exploitation, and injustice.

SASANE is committed to helping survivors and women still trapped in the sex industry to achieve their dreams, gain independence, and rebuild their self‐esteem. We believe that providing women with education, training, and personalized internships is the most effective way to guarantee their future employment, thereby providing them with a stable income and significantly reducing their risk of being re-trafficked. SASANE provides education and awareness programs about human trafficking for schools, communities, and organizations, while also spearheading research efforts and policy reform in order to create positive change in the legal sector and the greater society.
