Bahini’s mission is to empower girls with a future in freedom and to raise awareness about sex-trafficking.
The Bahini journey started when founder Miyabi volunteered in Nepal to support NGOs in their work for human rights. Instantly she was welcomed as a sister among the Nepali women, and learnt that the younger girls were called bahini, which means ‘little sister’. Apart from the loving sisterhood she also witnessed the prominent gender inequalities in the Nepalese society.
“I had never before experienced such a vibrant culture and loving people. At the same time it was incredibly difficult to observe another side of their society; the harsh, sometimes violent climate for women and girls. Having been born and raised in Sweden, one of the most gender-equal societies in the world, made the experience impossible to shake.” -Miyabi Holm
