My daughter made a couple of trips to Nepal to provide villages with machines that produce sanitary napkins. It seems that young girls stop going to school when they get their period and lack of education and social isolation/exclusion makes them prime targets for people traffickers.
As part of the fundraising for the sanitary napkin program, my daughter organised a movie night at which the movie "Sold" was shown - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1411956/
It's not a documentary, and has more than it's share of Hollywood actors in cameo roles, but I think that it accurately portrays the trafficking of young Nepalese (and other vulnerable) girls for the sex industry. I found it pretty confronting but it opened my eyes to something I didn't know existed.
