She was sold to India when she was 16 years to work in brothel as a sex worker. She spent 22 months in a brothel before the Indian government rescued her along with over 200 other Nepali women in 1996. Upon her return to Nepal, Tamang was ostracised by her community.[4] Later in 2000, Tamang and 15 other survivors established Shakti Samuha, an anti-trafficking NGO.
