On his visit to Nepal Eddie Izzard met Maya, a 16 year old girl, that thanks to Maiti Nepal, a Unicef-supported NGO that works victims of trafficking, was intercepted when her and a friend were being trafficked at the border and took them to Maiti Nepal’s transit centre, where they were offered counselling and proper care. Now, a year and a half on, Maya’s life has changed beyond all expectation.
