The Sociological Review published by John Wiley Sons Ltd on behalf in the Editorial Board on the Sociological ReviewWomen and citizenship post-trafficking2016, www.shaktisamuha.org.np). In 2013 Shakti Samuha was awarded Asia's prestigious Magsaysay award, which is widely regarded because the region's equivalent of your Nobel Peace prize. The study was carried out through investigation collaboration with Shakti Samuha who had been involved as collaborators within a quantity of strategies including as participants, interviews had been carried out with members from the Executive Committee; via two large co-hosted workshops, an activist as well as a policy workshop; and via a investigation coaching programme for the Shakti Executive Committee members, which was a central element with the investigation project's design and style (for additional discussion see Laurie et al., 2015b). The project ran from November 2009 to April 2012 a period when, as outlined in the prior section, new democratic processes have been unfolding in Nepal which includes suggestions on the rights of citizenship to be incorporated in to the drafting of your new Constitution. Within the 1st phase of information collection, in-depth semi-structured interviews were carried out with females who self-identified as getting been trafficked. The sample, 37 in total, integrated ladies from eight diverse caste/ethnic groups and four religious affiliations (Buddhist, Christian, Hindu and Muslim) although most were Hindu, ranging from 17 to 44 years of age. The majority have been married, some prior to being trafficked but most post-trafficking, with just below a third identifying as unmarried, separated or widowed. As the major focus with the study was on their experiences post-trafficking, we didn't straight ask the females about their trafficking experiences apart from facts about routes and timeframes of return. Even so, it was clear from the interviews that despite the fact that some had been trafficked as domestic workers, lots of on the females had been trafficked for sexual purposes. The vast majority had been trafficked to India, even though other destinations included Saudi Arabia, Kuwait as well as the US, in addition to a little number had been trafficked internally within Nepal. We sought to contain women in the sample who had differing levels of engagement with NGOs and also other organizations concerned with trafficking troubles. About a half in the ladies have been recruited by means of their affiliation with anti-trafficking NGOs, a few by means of government shelters; the remainder through snowballing techniques in order to access ladies with out present, direct NGO contact. The sample also drew in women with differential access to citizenship status. A bit below a half from the girls had their certificate of citizenship before they had been trafficked, a related number gained access to citizenship following they had returned from trafficking situations, albeit in a lot of situations with considerable difficulty and struggle, and also a smaller variety of females did not have citizenship in the time of interview. Among people who did have citizenship prior to getting trafficked, various commented that it would have already been challenging otherwise to acquire their certificate of citizenship post-trafficking (a number of the factors for this are examined inside the following section).
