This publication does not necessarily reflect the views or policies of Irish Aid or USDOL, nor does mention of trade names, commercial products, or organizations imply endorsement by the Government of Ireland or the Government of the United States Foreword Forced labour, modern day slavery and human trafficking are subjects of widespread international concern and action. The International Labour Organization’s two Conventions on forced labour, the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) and the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention, 1957 (No. 105) are among its most widely ratified instruments. Yet, these problems still persist on an alarming scale, affecting all regions of the world in different forms and to varying extents. The most recent ILO estimates for 2012 indicate that at least 20.9 million people worldwide are victims of forced labour, and the region most affected is Asia-Pacific, with some 11.7 million victims. Nepal has ratified both ILO forced labour Conventions, and has put in place national policies and programmes to deal with forced labour, particularly as it affects workers in the agricultural sector. The Bonded Labour (Prohibition) Act, 2058 (2002) represents a significant milestone in Nepal’s struggle to eliminate all forms of bonded labour, with a particular focus on the kamaiya system that was prevalent in the far west of the country. The 2008 government declaration on the liberation of haliya was another important step. However, it is widely acknowledged that significant gaps and challenges in implementation remain; action is still needed to ensure the complete and effective rehabilitation of these groups as well as others who may still be subjected to bonded labour and other forced labour practices in agriculture and other sectors of Nepal’s economy. Policies and programmes to combat forced labour need to be based upon solid data on the nature and extent of the problems to be addressed. Unfortunately, such data are lacking in virtually every country in the world. Given the often hidden nature of forced labour, that it may occur in remote regions or isolated locations, and that the victims may themselves be unaware of the fact that they are in forced labour, data collection through household surveys and other means is particularly challenging. The International Labour Office, through the Special Action Programme to combat Forced labour (SAP-FL) and the International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC), therefore embarked on a project between 2008 and 2010 to develop survey methodologies to estimate forced labour of adults and children at country level. The project involved close collaboration with national partners in ten countries: Armenia, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Georgia, Guatemala, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Republic of Moldova, Nepal and Niger. The overall results of this project have been reported in the publication “Hard to see, harder to count: Survey guidelines to estimate forced labour of adults and children” (ILO, 2012). This contains detailed methodological guidance on how to conduct such surveys, drawing on the experience gained through implementation in the ten participating countries. A particular focus is on the use of forced labour “indicators” in the design of the survey instrument and data analysis, to enable the detection of forced labour in practice. The results of the country-based surveys are presented in separate reports. This publication reports the results of the survey conducted in Nepal by the Central Department of Population Studies (CDPS) of Tribhuvan University in 2009, with the technical support of the ILO. As indicated in the title, the survey addresses forced labour of adults and children in agriculture, with a particular focus on the haruwa-charuwa in the eastern Tarai and the haliya in the Far-Western hills. This survey generated quantitative estimates of the number of people affected by forced labour, but also many important qualitative insights into the nature of the practices and the consequences for the adults and children affected. It also draws comparisons between the situation of the “target groups” (haruwa-charuwa and haliya) with other households living in the survey districts. i The ILO acknowledges with gratitude the work of the research team in designing, implementing and analysing the survey. The ILO wishes also to express its appreciation to the government of Nepal, in particular the Ministry of Land Reform and Management and the Ministry of Labour and Employment, for its on-going collaboration with the ILO in efforts to improve the situation of this vulnerable population group in Nepal, particularly for the rehabilitation of freed haliya in twelve districts of the Mid- and Far-Western hills. We trust that the results of this survey will play an important part in the formulation and implementation of effective policies and programmes to benefit former and current bonded labourers in Nepal in the months and years to come. José Assalino Director, ILO Country Office for Nepal, Kathmandu June, 2013 ii Acknowledgements The present study on Forced Labour of Adults and Children in the Agriculture Sector in Nepal, focusing especially on Haruwa-Charuwa in Eastern Tarai and Haliya in Far-Western Hills, was undertaken during April–December, 2009. The study was undertaken by the Central Department of Population Studies, Tribhuan University, Kathmandu. It was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, qualitative information was collected followed by quantitative data in the second phase. I am grateful to Mr Shengjie Li, Director, ILO Office in Nepal, Kathmandu, Nepal for bestowing upon us the responsibility of conducting this study. The whole research has been conducted under the continuous guidance and support of ILO Nepal and ILO Geneva, Special Action Programme to combat Forced Labour (SAP-FL) and International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC). Ms Michaëlle de Cock, Ms Caroline O’Reilly and Mr Bijoy Raychaudhuri of ILO Geneva provided special guidance. Initial guidance from Mr Debi Mondal, then from ILO, New Delhi, India is much appreciated. Ms Caroline O’Reilly undertook extensive final editing of the report, and Ms Caroline Chaigne-Hope was responsible for the report design and layout. This report is the outcome of combined efforts of us all. Mr Uddhav Raj Poudyal, Mr Hirendra Lal Karna and Ms Sita Devi Gurung of ILO, Kathmandu, deserve special thanks for their unflagging support from beginning to the completion of this study. I highly appreciate the efforts of Dr Govind Subedi and Dr Bhim Raj Suwal for coordinating the overall execution of the project and for completing the first draft report. Mr Mohan Khajum deserves special thanks for providing his expertise to manage the data for this research. I am also thankful to Mr Shiva Prasad Khanal and Mr Laxman Singh Kunwar for their careful supervision of field operation. All the field surveyors deserve special thanks for their relentless work for collecting data even during the rainy season.

  • The Kamaiya System of Bonded Labour in Nepal
    Nepal Case Study on Bonded Labour Final1 1 THE KAMAIYA SYSTEM OF BONDED LABOUR IN NEPAL INTRODUCTION The origin of the kamaiya system of bonded labour can be traced back to a kind of forced labour system that existed during the rule of the Lichhabi dynasty between 100 and 880 AD (Karki 2001:65). The system was re-enforced later during the reign of King Jayasthiti Malla of Kathmandu (1380–1395 AD), the person who legitimated the caste system in Nepali society (BLLF 1989:17; Bista 1991:38-39), when labourers used to be forcibly engaged in work relating to trade with Tibet and other neighbouring countries. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Gorkhali and Rana rulers introduced and institutionalised new forms of forced labour systems such as Jhara,1 Hulak2, Beth3 and Begar4 (Regmi, 1972 reprint 1999:102, cited in Karki, 2001). The later two forms, which centred on agricultural works, soon evolved into such labour relationships where the workers became tied to the landlords being mortgaged in the same manner as land and other property. These workers overtimes became permanently bonded to the masters. The kamaiya system was first noticed by anthropologists in the 1960s (Robertson and Mishra, 1997), but it came to wider public attention only after the change of polity in 1990 due in major part to the work of a few non-government organisations. The 1990s can be credited as the decade of the freedom movement of kamaiyas. Full-scale involvement of NGOs, national as well as local, with some level of support by some political parties, in launching education classes for kamaiyas and organising them into their groups culminated in a kind of national movement in 2000.
