520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Executive Summary: In the southeastern Terai regions of Nepal a traditional form of bonded labour termed 'Haruwa and Charuwa' continues to exist despite being officially outlawed by the Nepalese government. Haruwa means 'ploughman' and Charuwa means 'cattle herder'. For the overwhelming majority of these agricultural working families, their working conditions and socio-economic circumstances constitute a form of modern slavery. In this paper, modern slavery is used as an umbrella term to describe human trafficking, slavery, servitude and forced labour. The severe impact of modern slavery on individuals' mental health and psychosocial well-being has been evidenced internationally. However, current understanding of the psychosocial and mental health needs of forced labourers is only recently emerging and has never been investigated within Haruwa and Charuwa families. The Freedom Fund is a philanthropic organisation, which aims to eradicate modern slavery internationally. This paper was commissioned by the Freedom Fund and was a collaboration between the Freedom Fund, Helen Bamber Foundation (for the first field visit), an independent contractor (UK clinical psychologist) and the Centre for Mental Health and Counselling -Nepal (CMC). It aimed to understand the psychosocial and mental health needs from the Haruwa and Charuwa families' perspectives. Participants were recruited from and by partnering Nepali NGOs within the Freedom Fund's Nepal hotspot program, and data was primarily collected by CMC staff. The original design of the study was suspended due to the devastating April 2015 Earthquake in Nepal and data was therefore collected in two field visits.
