- District Committees on anti-trafficking across all 75 districts & local committees<\/li>\n
- Nepal Police, Court, Attorney General\u2019s Office and Embassy offices across other countries<\/li>\n
- Nepal Government has ramped up its anti-trafficking efforts post the 2015 earthquake; stopped inter-country adoption and also established various measures such as conducting awareness programs across communities, enhancement of local communities and funding various rehabilitation centers<\/li>\n
- UNICEF has also extended its support to governmental efforts by strengthening various police stations and checkpoints around the country covering the border areas<\/li>\n
