The United Nations University Centre for Policy Research, supported by the Freedom Fund, undertook mixed-method, action-oriented research to examine the relationships between a lack of access to official documentation and heightened risks of trafficking and modern slavery. The research was undertaken at the global level and in three focus countries – Brazil, Kenya and Nepal – deliberately chosen to represent diverse communities and circumstances. These are countries where there is known to be a high incidence of modern slavery and where the Freedom Fund partners with frontline organizations to deliver community-centred programmes. The findings of the research were published as a global evidence review and final report, entitled NO IDENTITY, NO PROTECTION: How lack of documentation drives modern slavery. This Policy Brief presents the findings of the research in Nepal, which focused on a critical evidence gap involving members of migrant communities whose forebears settled in Nepal generations ago. The brief identifies practical solutions for policymakers, civil society organizations and donors, informed by the lived experiences of survivors of modern slavery.
