*sigh* In the Dang District in western Nepal, many indigenous families from the Tharu ethnic group subsist as farm laborers. Unable to make ends meet, they have been forced into a desperate trade—selling their daughters to work in faraway cities as bonded servants in private homes or as dishwashers in tea houses. Some of these children are only seven or eight years old.

How depressing. I'm almost wondering if I should chip in and do this when I have enough money.
