She was born in a small village located on the border of India and Nepal, and at around the age of 10 she ended up working at a sweatshop. More than $127 billion worth of garments that are imported annually by G-20 nations are likely to come from modern slavery, according to the Walk Free Foundation's Global Slavery Index 2018 Report.
