This paper explores the relationship between human trafficking and geographies of stigma based on qualitative research in Nepal. It explains how geographies of stigma circumscribe the agency of those who return from having experienced trafficking, affecting their livelihoods and mobilities. It examines processes of spatial differentiation, territorialisation and scalar hierarchies in relation to the production and navigation of stigma.
