‘People Recognise Us as the Bravest of the Brave’
This article aims to contribute new insights into ageing migrants and masculinity by drawing upon life story interviews with retired Nepali Gurkha soldiers settled in South‐East England. Less is known about middle‐aged and older migrants who migrate not to retire per se but to pursue a second or third career in later life.

Implementation of the anti-child trafficking framework in Nepal
Applying the ideas of policy diffusion, this paper investigates how anti-child trafficking policies and frameworks have been diffused in Nepal, and critically analyses their implementation in practice. The findings show how different socio-cultural and regulatory factors have either individually or collectively stifled the diffusion trajectory of a comprehensive anti-child trafficking response in Nepal. As a result, anti-child trafficking interve…
Gurkha Warriors as Entrepreneurs in Britain
Using the social anchoring approach, this article investigates the entrepreneur experience of one of the newest migrant groups in Britain, the Nepali Gurkhas. The findings derived from the semi-structured interviews show how these migrant entrepreneurs employ multiple 'anchors' to engage in family-based enterprises and to navigate structural constraints. Their military heritage, which has provided them with psycho-social resources in the form of …
Fear, Stigma and Othering
The paper explores how COVID-19-related moral panics have led to fear and othering practices among returnee Nepalese migrants from India and Muslims living in Nepal. This qualitative study included in-depth interviews with 15 returnee migrants, 15 Muslims from Kapilvastu and Banke districts of Nepal, and eight interviews with media and health professionals, and representatives from migration organisations. Four themes emerged from our data analys…
Understanding ‘trafficking vulnerabilities’ among children
The purpose of this paper is to discuss child trafficking in Nepal within the broader framework of child protection. It examines both individual (gender, ethnicity and caste) and structural (their experiences in relation to work, migration, education and lack of birth registration) vulnerabilities and their links with child trafficking as a child protection concern. The paper provides suggestions for why there is a need for a more nuanced underst…
Reflections on social work in practice
This essay reflects on my community work in a rural village located approximately 70 km from Kathmandu in Nepal. As a social worker, my task was to help integrate people from the Dalit (lower) caste in their local community. The assignment proved to be a challenge, not only because I lacked practical knowledge but also because I belonged to a different caste group, the so-called Brahmin, i.e. the upper caste. In this essay, I discuss how the fact…
