Did anyone watch the CNN documentary featuring Maiti Nepal with Demi Moore and Anuradha Koirala

The documentary makes you feel teary eyed at the sheer inhumanity of it all. Innocent lives affected like nothing else. Few things to ponder:

- Prime Minister gives Demi Moore the permission to go talk to a convict, but she is denied the luxury by the prison guard who has the ability to circumvent the orders of the Prime Minister. It was embarassing moment for Nepalis watching how a position of Prime Minister is not worth anything.

- In addition to what Maiti Nepal is doing from the Nepali side to stop trafficking, it would be also be ideal to pressure the Indian government to curb such heinous crime in thier country for not doing anything actively against such crime. Organizations such as Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher foundation have millions of dollars they can use to help. If they were able to put some sort of reward for Indian police for helping send these girls home - let's say $100 for every girl returned to Nepal from the brothels then if the DNA Foundation can generate $10 million, it would mean 100,000 Nepali girls are returned or saved from this crime.
