Snatched from their homes and sold by strangers, friends, and even family members, 15,000 women and 5,000 girls are trafficked out of Nepal each year. Many are forced to become sex slaves before they reach the age of 10. In No Longer Untouchable, Devisara “Hannah” Badi and her sisters bring you into this appalling reality as they tell their stories. As part of Nepal’s Badi community, they are considered by many the worthless dust of Nepal. With that lowly caste status comes extreme poverty, a lack of basic rights, and a life of prostitution.

From Russia with Love was my favorite Bond Film with the dapper Sean Connery playing Agent 007. Thus, it was apt for me to seek this as the title of my book about my travels to Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Siberia, where I saw the house of the mystic Rasputin.
