This is what Sukumaya said when she was a jury member:

“When I was 11, my parents could no longer afford to keep me in school. I was fetching grass for our animals when a man approached me and asked if I wanted a job at a hotel in town. I told my parents about the man’s proposal.
They said no, but I ran away with the man. First, we took a bus. But when we boarded a train to Mumbai in India, I began to wonder. I was taken to a brothel. The first month, I was given a course in dancing. But then they told me I had to begin working at the brothel. I refused, and they tortured me. They treated me as a slave and I was forced to be with men. But one wonderful day two months later, I was liberated and could return to Nepal. Now I attend Maiti Nepal’s school. When I finish my studies, I want to help Maiti fight against the trafficking of girls, and to warn girls so they won’t be duped the way I was.'
