Shakti Samuha is a non-profit organisation working against women trafficking. It is based inNepal and was formed by the survivors of women trafficking inIndia, includingCharimaya Tamang. The organisation is a recipient of theRamon Magsaysay Award 2013.[1][2][3]
India operated a massive raid in illegal brothels and enslavements in 1996 and rescued 500 women including 128 ofNepalese background. These women realised they need an organisation to support other women in the similar situations and together they formed Shakti Samuha in 1996 and registered in 2000.[citation needed]
