how one Nepalese woman fought back
by Laura Sheahen

“In the brothel, there were no windows. The only light was from the lightbulb—that was the sun and the moon for us.” Charimaya Tamang grew up in the hill country of Nepal, working on her family’s farm. She was used to the outdoors and sunshine and freedom. But after waking from a drugged sleep thousands of miles from her village, the sixteen-year-old was shut in a room behind three doors, each one locked after the other.

Report from Caritas Lebanon: 8.5 thousand Syrians fled to north Lebanon during the first half of April. It is very difficult to get help to the refugees because they are scattered in different towns and villages. Caritas Lebanon field workers in particular have problems with deliveries to more remote areas such as the village of Masharie el Qaa near the border of Syria. This is due to strict security measures and the recent incidents in this village.
