Post-Trafficking Livelihoods in Nepal: Women, Sexuality and Citizenship, 2010-2012

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><br>This is a qualitative data collection. The aims of the project were to research the intersections of sexuality, citizenship and pro-poor policy making for trafficked women upon their return to their home country of origin, Nepal. Here anti-trafficking advocacy is highly visible and together with the recent success of the pro-democracy movement and moves to create a Constituent Assembly are opening up debates on citizenship, governance, sexuality and pro-poor development. The aims of the project were:<br>
<br>
1. To examine the role of sexuality and citizenship in livelihood strategies, focusing particularly on the experiences of diverse groups of returnee trafficked women as new democratic processes, supported by national and transnational communities, are unfolding in Nepal<br>
<br>
2. To generate new gendered understandings and research approaches to the relationship between citizenship, sexuality and pro-poor development. This objective involved analysing competing discourses and policies on sexuality, trafficking and emerging models of citizenship as they intersect with pro poor development in Nepal.<br>
<br>
3. To examine the professionalisation of activist anti-trafficking networks and the impact of this on grassroots activists/local NGOs' ability to get sexual citizenship on transnational advocacy, donor and national pro-democracy agendas. <br>

本数据集为质性研究采集所得。本项目旨在研究遭贩卖女性返回原籍尼泊尔后，性身份、公民身份与针对她们的亲贫政策制定三者之间的交集。尼泊尔境内反人口贩卖倡导活动影响力显著，加之近期民主运动取得成功以及推动制宪会议（Constituent Assembly）组建的相关举措，正引发关于公民身份、治理、性身份与亲贫发展的广泛讨论。本项目的目标如下：
1. 探讨性身份与公民身份在生计策略中的作用，重点关注在国内及跨国社群支持下，尼泊尔新民主进程推进过程中，不同群体遭贩卖归国女性的经历。
2. 针对公民身份、性身份与亲贫发展之间的关联，构建兼具性别视角的全新认知与研究范式。本目标需分析尼泊尔境内性身份、人口贩卖与新兴公民身份模式与亲贫发展产生交集时所涉及的多元话语与政策分歧。
3. 考察反人口贩卖行动者网络的专业化进程，及其对基层行动者/本地非政府组织（NGO）将‘性公民身份’议题纳入跨国倡导、捐助方考量与国内民主动态议程的能力所产生的影响。
