4 The Dark Secret Behind Nepal’s Orphan Industry
19 aug. 2013
Paper Orphans (2013): As Western families scramble to adopt, Nepalese orphanages have created a dark human industry. Plundering children from vulnerable parents, they are selling them abroad as ‘orphans’ for large sums of money. Subscribe to journeyman for daily uploads:

“She knew very well that I was his mother. When they came for him, she knew it!” Khanchi, a distraught Nepali mother shouts. Her son was adopted into a Western family who had no idea of her existence. Like many of Nepal’s poor, Khanchi had put her child into an orphanage so that he would receive an education and proper care. They promised she could regularly visit. Instead, the owner of the orphanage, Sabitra, faked the child’s papers and sold him to America.
When confronted about what she did Sabitra shows no remorse and an examination of her records shows that she’s done the same with hundreds of children. “There are details for the adoptive parents here. And frequently the name of the biological mother or father and contact details too.”
Prospective Western parents visiting orphanages like this are usually confronted with sob stories about the struggles involved in running the institution, asked to donate and then offered a child to adopt for a large fee. Jurgen runs a charity helping re-connect these adopted children with their families. “These people have done this for many years, ruining many lives”, he explains.

9 nov. 2013
How did a secret German sect in Chile become a haven for Nazi fugitives and a torture centre for the Pinochet regime?
Forty years after the US-backed military coup that brought General Augusto Pinochet to power in Chile, the truth about the sordid abuses and crimes that took place during his dictatorship are still emerging.
The mountains of Patagonia in southern Chile witnessed a particularly bizarre chapter of the Pinochet era; one that is still claiming victims today.
In 1961, a former Nazi corporal called Paul Schaefer fled Germany, along with hundreds of others, to found a sect in southern Chile. In an idyllic rural enclave framed by the Andes Mountains he created a virtual state within a state – one where horrifying events unfolded.
Initially with the ignorance of the government, and then with the complicity of the Pinochet regime, children were separated from their parents at birth and raised in a Kinder House. Men and women were kept apart and often drugged, while Schaefer systematically sexually abused boys and, occasionally, girls.
It also served as a haven for Nazi fugitives – such as Walter Rauff, the inventor of the portable gas chamber, and Joseph Mengele, the so-called ‘Angel of Death’ – who were permitted to hide out there in exchange for overseeing sophisticated forms of torture.
All of this took place with the full knowledge of the Pinochet regime, whose notorious intelligence chief, General Manuel Contreras, would often visit the site.
In The Colony: Chile’s dark past uncovered, the truth about what took place inside the Colony is revealed through the story of Winfried Hempel. Now 35, Hempel was born into the Colony and raised there without any knowledge of who his parents were. When he first left its grounds, he was 20 years old, spoke no Spanish, had no notion of the country in which he lived and had never seen a television, computer or mobile phone.
Although he initially struggled to adapt to the world beyond Colonia Dignidad, he gradually learned to speak Spanish, received his high school certificate and eventually qualified as a lawyer.
Al Jazeera’s Lucia Newman has followed the story of the Colonia Dignidad since 1996 – at one point even being turned away from the site at gunpoint. As a Chilean, she wants to expose the crimes that took place there – crimes that her country was not only complicit in, but an active participant to.

Peter R. de Vries ‘koopt’ slaafje van 8 in Nepal
HILVERSUM – Peter R. de Vries heeft vorig jaar in Nepal een meisje van 8 jaar oud gekocht als slaafje. Na wat onderhandelen met de moeder kreeg de misdaadverslaggever het kind voor een bedrag van omgerekend 50 euro mee.
BuzzE 17-04-14, 12:28 Laatste update: 17-03-17, 09:25 Bron: destem
De Vries kwam tot de transactie voor zijn nieuwe tv-programma Peter R. over de grens, waarvoor hij voor de AvroTros de hele wereld over reist om schendingen van kinderrechten aan de kaak te stellen. Uiteindelijk zag de verslaggever toch van de aanschaf af. Tot zijn eigen opluchting.
Het emotioneert hem nog steeds als de programmamaker vertelt over het ogenschijnlijke gemak waarmee ouders in het Aziatische land, gedwongen door armoede, hun kinderen afstaan aan gefortuneerde vreemden. In Nepal wordt op grote schaal gehandeld in jonge meisjes die bij hun nieuwe ‘eigenaar’ als slaaf aan het werk moeten en vaak ook seksueel worden misbruikt.
Schokkend
“Toen ik voor het eerst van deze praktijken hoorde, kon ik het bijna niet geloven”, vertelt De Vries. “Ik wilde wel eens met eigen ogen zien hoe dat nou gaat.” Via een tussenpersoon belandde hij bij een gezin dat bereid was een 8-jarige dochter van de hand te doen. “Toen ik daar aankwam stond de moeder al klaar met het meisje. Zonder dat ze wist wie ik was, waar ik haar kind mee naartoe nam en wat ik met haar ging doen, kon ik haar zo meenemen. Dat vond ik zó schokkend.”
De doorgewinterde misdaadverslaggever voelde zich daar in dat Nepalese dorp, gewapend met een verborgen camera, bijzonder ongemakkelijk bij de hele situatie. “Ik probeerde er nog onderuit te komen met een smoes. Ik vertelde de moeder dat ik haar kind die dag niet kon meenemen, maar de volgende ochtend zou terugkomen.” Terwijl hij zijn tranen probeert weg te slikken: “Maar de moeder bleef erop aandringen dat ik haar kind meteen zou meenemen.”
Wildvreemde
‘’Dat raakte me enorm. Ik ben zelf vader en dacht: Hoe bestaat dit? Wat een triestheid dat je je kind verkoopt aan een wildvreemde man die haar meeneemt naar de andere kant van de wereld, en dan niet eens de kans grijpt om nog één nacht met haar door te brengen. Ik hoopte echt dat de moeder zich zou bedenken en zou zeggen: Lazer op, je krijgt mijn kind niet. Al bied je een miljoen. Maar de volgende dag stond het meisje klaar met een groezelig rugzakje met daarin alleen een afgedankt T-shirtje en een gescheurde broek. Dat was alles wat ze bezat.”
Hulp
Uiteindelijk was het nooit de bedoeling van De Vries het kind daadwerkelijk mee te nemen, maar er was hem wel veel aangelegen de Nederlandse tv-kijker de harde werkelijkheid tonen. Het meisje en haar familie worden inmiddels ondersteund door Stichting KidsRights die zorgt voor geld en scholing, in de hoop dat de ouders zich niet meer gedwongen zien een van hun kinderen te verkopen aan een rijke slavendrijver.
“Ik realiseer me ook wel dat dit slechts één geval is dat wij hebben gered en dat er ondertussen misschien een dochter van de buurvrouw wordt verkocht. Maar voor dit gezin is de noodzaak nu weg. Het is allemaal op te lossen met geld. Ik hoop dat mensen hierdoor met andere ogen gaan kijken en zich niet laten leiden door dat Wilders-gebral van draai de geldkraan maar dicht. Stel nou eens dat het jou kind was?”

Africa Investigates – Nigeria’s Baby Farmers
It is understandable why a desperate childless couple might do anything to have a baby, but those who exploit their unhappiness for profit are not so easy to forgive.
In this deeply disturbing episode of Africa Investigates, Ghana’s undercover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas and investigative reporter Rosemary Nwaebuni team up to identify and expose some of those those behind Nigeria’s heart-breaking baby trade.
It is a scam that exploits couples desperate for a baby and young pregnant single mothers – often stigmatised in a country where abortion is illegal except in the most dire medical emergency. It is also a trade that international NGOs have identified as sinister and out of control.
Filming undercover, the team find bogus doctors and clinics offering spurious fertility treatments in return for large amounts of money. In their guise as a childless couple, Anas and Rosemary are falsely diagnosed by one dodgy clinician as being unable to conceive children.
When the footage is reviewed by an official from Nigeria’s Ministry of Health, he is appalled at the way vulnerable people are being conned. “You should not allow these people access to the public,” he says.
But worse is to come. The team go on to uncover orphanages and clinics that act as brokers for illegal baby sales, by which naive, greedy or simply desperate young mothers are “persuaded” to hand over their newborn children for cash.
29 Venezuela: Mothers giving away babies – BBC News

Oil-rich Venezuela is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, according to the United Nations.
Extreme poverty has jumped 40%, deaths related to child malnutrition are on the rise, and millions have fled the country in the past two years.
Many inside and outside Venezuela blame the policies of socialist President Nicolas Maduro. But his supporters point to the opposition, and also “imperialist forces” outside the country – including the US, which has imposed sanctions.
Mothers and children have been among those hit hardest, as the BBC’s Vladimir Hernandez found when he spent time in the capital, Caracas.

32 Children for Sale: The Fight Against Child Trafficking in India | REWIND
29 sep. 2019
India, once thought of as a country of more than a billion people living in poverty, has seen its economy boom, and has emerged as a new force in global manufacturing.
But that is not the full story. According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), more than 150 million children and teenagers are victims of child labour around the world, and India has long been among the worst offenders.
More than 10 million children and teenagers between the ages of five and 14 are forced to work in the country, often through trafficking and bondage.
But over the last few years, things have been changing, in no small part thanks to the work of one man: Kailash Satyarthi.
He has fought against child trafficking for decades, freeing more than 87,000 children and teenagers and contributing to global conventions on children’s rights. He also won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 for his efforts, bringing the issue into the international spotlight.
More than a decade ago, Al Jazeera met Kailash Satyarthi as he led a march around the country to raise awareness for the cause.
At the time, Satyarthi was sure that the demonstration, which drew together thousands of people at each stop, was the largest of its kind.
Now, more than 10 years on, awareness has continued to grow. In a studio interview with Al Jazeera, Satyarthi says there has been progress, as mindsets have shifted and more legal protections have been put in place.
“Definitely there is significant improvement in consciousness of masses and behaviour policies and practices, laws and implementation,” he says. “India has ratified two most important ILO conventions, one of the worst forms of child labour and another one on the age of employment of children.”
He agrees that his winning the Nobel Peace Prize, however unexpected it was, helped give the cause momentum.
“It has brought a tremendous amount of awareness in the society, not only in India but globally,” he says.
“It was very much on the right time when the international community was working on framing or formulating the Sustainable Development Goals and I knew that there was no mention of child labour, slavery, trafficking, forced labour in the Millennium Development Goals. And we were raising this issue that you cannot achieve any of these goals without eradication of child labour and slavery-like practices.”
But despite progress, he explains that the fight against exploitation is ongoing, with some worrying trends emerging globally.
“A larger number of children are being involved in pornographic material production that has grown as $8bn industry. There was last year’s report and the online child sexual abuse and all other forms of abuses, child trafficking, use of children for substance abuses and radicalisation of children is growing. And there is no international law to check the data service providers which are solely responsible for that,” he says.
