. >> across the tarai, we hear many stories of abuse and exploitation from kamlaris who have returned home. like 15-year old sharda chaudary, who is back living with her mother and 4 siblings. >> i was sleeping in the bathroom. they used to make me sleep in the bathroom. so i was sleeping and he came over at night. he raped me. i was 12 at the time. the mistress asked me why i was standing outside. i said the junior master had come to me. i told her that he was in the bathroom, and i had come out. then he said to come back and sleep and i went i told them in the morning but they started beating me instead. they said that i was a whore and that i was ruining their son. i told them i hadn't called him in. >> she suffered so much. i ran around crying and asking for help from anybody but no one cared. we had nothing in my house - no food, no clothes. our house was falling apart. i had hoped that my daughter would find a better future and instead they destroyed her. now even if i have to share half a piece of bread or less, i will do that. i am never going to give my daughters away. at ano
