Nepal fights foreign paedophiles
Hunting western paedophiles is a priority for a new police unit tasked with safeguarding children in Nepal.
Hunting western paedophiles is a priority for a new police unit tasked with safeguarding children in Nepal.
Mired in poverty and still recovering from a devastating earthquake in 2015, Nepal is increasingly being targeted by foreign paedophiles who recommend it as a destination when they share child abuse tips on the dark web.
In recent years a series of western men have been charged with raping or sexually assaulting Nepali boys.
Jill McGivering follows the under-resourced police unit, hears the stories of victims and perpetrators and examines what makes Nepal so vulnerable to abuse by western men.
This programme contains descriptions of child sexual abuse which some listeners may find distressing.
