Women from the Badi community queuing for a medical checkup near the Pashupatinath temple. Representatives from the community were in the capital city to protest against their government’s lack of action in protecting their human rights and hearing their concerns. The Badi community is mostly uneducated and poor, and has been marginalised and neglected by the government. The women have long been forced to turn to prostitution, many of whom are trafficked into India. Kathmandu, Nepal. August 31, 2007,
