This study reflects on the predicament of the young Tharu Kamalri women after their legal
emancipation in 2013, who had formerly been subjected to be the victims of bonded servitude
in the name of the Kamlari system prevailing in Dang district of western Nepal. This study
presents and analyses the accounts of the lives of young Kamlari women during their years in
servitude, along with their experiences after they gained freedom. The freedom they obtained
did not always bring the changes they expected. This study assumes that the much awaited
freedom could not overcome the legacy of the evils of bonded servitude that existed from
historical times, specifically, victimizing the young women of Tharu indigenous community.
This study seeks to examine how the historical and systemic injustice and the socio-economic
disparity occurred on a multidimensional basis, specifically victimizing the young Tharu
women, forcing them to enter into bondage, thus continuing their oppression. While doing so,
this study incorporates the theory of intersectionality to explore how the young Tharu women
have been forced to be victims of bonded servitude owing to the intersection of multiple
oppressions based on their ethnicity, class and gender.
