When the voting started actually the odd was stacked against Anuradha. Nepal being one of the poorest countries, vast majorities of Nepalese do not have computer/Internet access. Rameshwor and his henchmen are basically saying only Nepalese voted for this lady. But I am certain a lot of women irrespective of nationality voted for Anuradha because women regardless of whether they have been victims of sexual assault or not recognize the pain felt by women.
Plain slavery(1) is a heinous crime so are under-age(prostitution) (2) and  forced prostitution(3) and kidnapping(4) . The human beings Anuradha is rescuing are minor girls subjected to cross-border kidnapping and sexual slavery.
Rameswor and his henchmen, do you even get the gravity of the crime perpetrated upon the victims and what Anuradha, a frail lady past her peak age, is doing for them?
If you cannot comprehend then don't even talk about that grand-phrase like "voting with your conscience". You people are unduly insulting the people who voted for Anuradha. I, for one, voted only once for Anuradha. Rameswor, No_Quiro, Jira, etc. I pity your stinking judgement.
Among all the hero nominees, the benefactors of Anuradha's work are crime victims while those of others have the misfortune of being born in poverty. Do you see the difference there?
And yes, I would urge you to refrain from using words like "contestants" to describe all these heroes because you do not make them appear like "selfless social workers".
I am not sure about Prashant Tamang but Amitabh Bachchan being e-voted the Star of the Millennium was quite questionable while Marlon Brando, Charlie Chaplin etc got sidelined because when one-sixth of world humanity live and breathe Bollywood inside the periphery of one country and watch Hindi movies right after they get off from their IT (Computer/Internet) job. Hmmm , something sure is not going right.
