Child survivors of Nepal earthquake ‘being sold’ in the UK. What kind of world are we living in?

Child survivors of Nepal earthquake ‘being sold’ in the UK

Published by The Guardian, Monday 4th April

The home secretary Theresa May has urged police to investigate claims that child survivors of the Nepal earthquake and other vulnerable children are being sold to British families to work as domestic slaves.

An investigation by the Sun newspaper suggests that boys and girls as young as 10 are being sold for just £5,300 by black market gangs operating in India’s state of Punjab.

May called child trafficking a “truly abhorrent crime” and urged the National Crime Agency to investigate the newspaper’s findings. She said the paper should “share its disturbing findings” with the agency, “so that appropriate action can be taken against the vile criminals who profit from this trade”.

She added: “No child, anywhere in the world, should be taken away from their home and forced to work in slavery.

According to the Sun’s report, which appears on the front of Monday’s print edition, the desperate children are being sold to wealthy British families to be used as unpaid domestic servants.

It reports that a trader it names as Makkhan Singh lined up children for its undercover reporter to pick from and said: “We have supplied lads who have gone on to the UK.

“Most of the ones who are taken to England are Nepalese.

It is estimated that millions of people across the world are victims of modern day slavery, trafficked across borders and forced to work in servitude. In October 2015, the Modern Slavery Act was brought in to crack down on modern day slavery and protect victims of trafficking.

NICO CASAL, A GALICIAN PIANIST, WAS THE COMPOSER OF THE MUSIC OF THE SHORT FILM "THE STUTERER" WHICH HAS JUST WON AN OSCAR

A graduate who composed the music for the short film Stutterer is celebrating after the production won an Oscar.

Nico Casal, who completed his Music (Composing for Moving Images) MA in 2013, saw the film named Best Short Film at the 2016 Academy Awards in Hollywood.

The film explores the challenging experiences of a young man with a severe speech impediment.

Nico posted a video on Twitter of his team's reaction to the Oscar win at the award ceremony, simply adding, "YES!!!!".

Before the ceremony, he said: “I’ll never forget the moment we found out the film had made the Oscars shortlist – the six of us in front of a big screen, seeing Ang Lee and Guillermo del Toro announcing the nominees in LA.

“They read the five shorts and ours was the fifth. Everything changed in a couple of seconds. We started to jump, cry and laugh. And my legs were shaking for a few days. It’s still hard to believe now!”

The City alumnus explained he composed his score to communicate the thoughts of the film's protagonist, which they could not express through speech.

“It was both a long and difficult process and very challenging and rewarding,” he said. “The story is about a guy with a stutter so the music has to express what he can't say with words.

“The music has to make you feel what he is feeling, but in a very subtle way. Instrumentation-wise, I use piano and strings mixed with electronic pads, supporting the technology side of the story.

“The phone and social media are very important within the story so I tried to experiment with the dial tone or the sound Facebook makes when you get a message, for instance, and include them in the soundtrack.”

Nico (right) said the Masters course he completed at City helped him to learn about the music industry and develop his skills.

“Studying at City helped me a lot to improve my composition and technical skills,” he said, “It was very useful to understand how the industry and the ‘real world’ work and I learned from both my teachers and my classmates.

“The environment was very creative and collaborative – completely recommendable. I miss my days at City!”

The awards that Stutterer has already won include: the Best Foreign Film prize from the Los Angeles International Short Film Festival; the Special Jury Award at Savannah Film Festival; Best International Short Film at Kerry Film Festival; and the Best Drama award at Aesthetica Short Film Festival.

Dr Miguel Mera (right), Head of the Department of Music at City, described the graduate's score as "beautiful".

"A thoroughly deserved win for a great film," he said. "Nico's score makes a significant and unique contribution to its success."

He added: “While studying for an MA at City Nico developed and extended his flair for melodic writing and his instincts for subtle and precise dramatic scoring. I'm glad to see that his hard work is paying off."
