'Kathmandu, Nepal: In early March 2025, Maya’s neighbour, who was an agent of a fertility clinic, lured her with promises of easy money for donating ovum. She thought it would be as simple as giving blood. The agent took her to a fertility centre in Kathmandu and introduced her to the doctors.
Doctors scanned Maya's body and drew blood to assess her ovum maturity. For fifteen straight days, the agent arranged rideshares to drive Maya from home to the clinic. Maya, using only her middle name to avoid stigma, says, "After the first (hormone) injection, I was scared. I thought that I was doing something wrong," Maya says. "I told them that I wouldn't donate any ovum. They warned that stopping would harm me because of the injections. I had no choice but to keep going."
"They gave me one, two, or even four injections every day for fifteen days straight."
In the hospital diary, doctors wrote her name as Samiksha Shrestha, but not her real name. They listed her age as 21, but she was only 17 (her birth certificate lists her date of birth as June 11, 2007). On the day of egg retrieval, they instructed her to fast for eight hours. Under anaesthesia, five doctors removed the ovum from her body. A few days later, they gave her 15,000 Nepalese Rupees (NPR) in cash.'
