Maiti Nepal ( Nepali: माइती नेपाल) is a non-profit organization in Nepal dedicated to helping the victims of human trafficking. Currently, it operates a rehabilitation home in Kathmandu, transit homes at the Indo-Nepal border towns, preventive homes in the countryside, and an academy in Kathmandu.

Maiti Nepal was established in 1993 by a group of socially committed professionals in order "to protect Nepali girls and women from crimes like domestic violence, trafficking for flesh trade, child prostitution, child labor and various other forms of exploitation and torture". Since 1993, this organization has been working towards "preventing trafficking for forced prostitution, rescuing flesh trade victims and rehabilitating them". After rescuing women and children, this organization also works vigorously towards finding "justice for the victimized girls and women by engaging in criminal investigation and waging legal battles against the criminals". Due to continuous efforts, this organization has been able to raise awareness regarding this crucial issue of girl trafficking at international levels.

Anuradha Koirala was born in 1949, to parents Colonel Pratap Singh Gurung and Laxmi Gurung. She was called dijju means [elder sister] by the ones who she saved. She completed her schooling at a convent school in Kalimpong, India. Her inspiration to establish an organization for the betterment of the women's population came from her bitter relationship with her husband, Dinesh Prasad Koirala. Her highest inspiration was Mother Teresa. After several years of violence, abuse, and three miscarriages, she separated from her husband. Anuradha Koirala established Maiti Nepal in 1993 with the aim of providing services for both children and women who have endured untold pain and suffering, often in silence. She not only established Maiti Nepal, but she also set up transit homes, academic and medical centre to provide support to the women and children who had no other place to go.

Maiti Nepal has three prevention homes, fourteen transit homes, a hospice, eight information desks, and Teresa Academy. The data for the centres of Maiti Nepal has been taken from the website of South Asia Foundation.

The transit homes of Maiti Nepal are located in different locations across Nepal, as listed below.

Pashupatinagar Illam

Kakarvita, Jhapa

Biratnagar, Morang

Birgunj, Parsa

Bhairawa, Rupandehi

Nepalgunj, Banke

Dhangadhi, Kailali

Kathmandu, Thankot

Maheshpur, Nawalparasi

Mahendranagr, Kanchanpur

The two rehabilitation centres of Maiti Nepal are located in Kathmandu and Ithari.

Chisapaani - Nuwakot

Bardaghat - Nawalparasi

Hetauda - Makwanpur

Chitwan - Bharatpur

Satighatta - Jhapa District Eastern Nepal

The transit homes, rehabilitation and medical centres of Maiti Nepal are well facilitated to provide support and assistance to the rescued women, children and girls.

These centers provide shelter, safety, education and vocational training, and medical care to the rescued women and children.

This program provides information to vulnerable girls with information and education about human trafficking. This program also provides temporary shelter and residential services to these girls.

The hospices provide treatment to those suffering from psychological disorders, and anti-retro-viral treatment for HIV/AIDS patients.

These types of houses provide shelter and protection to underage girls who are working in places like dance restaurants and massage parlors.

The medical clinic was built to provide treatment to diseased women and children. There is a full-time doctor with a team of girls to look after the suffering women and children.

As the founder and director of Maiti Nepal, Anuradha Koirala won the CNN Hero of the Year award in 2010. She had previously received the Courage of Conscience Award from The Peace Abbey in Sherborn, Massachusetts on August 25, 2006.

One of the major drawbacks of Maiti Nepal's work has been in rehabilitating former prostitutes. The other criticism raised against this organization's work is with its affiliation with an Indian Organization named STOP. STOP has been accused of raiding brothels at midnight and then taking away the girls forcefully and later subjecting them to various kinds of threats. Since Maiti Nepal is affiliated with STOP so when this organization is accused of any issue then it ultimately becomes a concern for Maiti Nepal as STOP hands over all its rescued girls to Maiti Nepal.

The word ‘Maiti' has no literal interpretation in English but in the Nepali language the word ‘maiti' means the home of the girl's birth parents. The word itself holds sentimental value for the women's population of Nepal, "especially for a married Nepali woman who has no longer any right towards her parents or their property".

Rescue and repatriation are among the critical activities of Maiti Nepal that the organization is well known for. For close to three decades, the organization has continuously tried to rescue women and children from places where they were being inhumanly abused and oppressed. Everybody deserves to live a dignified life free from fear and oppression, but sadly the reality of our society falls on the opposite spectrum, making resume efforts extremely important. Without rescuing women and children facing these circumstances, it is impossible to imagine a just world.

Focusing on rescue and repatriation efforts is Maiti Nepal’s step towards building a better and safer world for all. The organization rescues girls, women, and children from sexual servitude, migration traps, and other forms of exploitation. The area of rescue operation includes the entertainment sector in Nepal, Indian brothels, and other places where women and girls are forced into such activities.

After the rescue, girls and women receive comprehensive shelters in transit homes located at different border cities – Pashupatinagar, Kakarvitta, Morang, Dhanusa, Sarlahi, Parsa, Dhunche, Chitwan, Rupendehi, Maheshpur, Nepalgunj, Gularia, Kanchanpur, Tikapur and Dhangadhi. Depending upon the cases, rescued girls and women are referred to the Rehabilitation Homes based in Kathmandu and Sunsari districts.

Transit homes provide a safe living environment, necessary medical treatments, counseling based on problems, life skills training, and other interventions. Apart from the mentioned services, helping the rescued with legal support to penalize the offender/trafficker is an essential service provided by the transit homes/Maiti Nepal. Rescued women and children also receive vocational training for economic empowerment.
