Awareness campaigns and advocacy work are significant features of Maiti Nepal's activities. Many efforts have been made to highlight the issue and Maiti has received adequate press coverage. In August 1994, a major awareness campaign was organized in six districts- Sindhupalchowk, Nuwakot, Dhading, Makwanpur, Nawalparasi, and Rasuwa. Maiti Nepal mobilized Padma Kanya (Girl's) College students, police, lawyers, journalists and local people.

Women pressure groups were formed. Workshops on girl-trafficking, child prostitution and AIDS were organized in each district to educate and generate awareness among key groups of people like the politicians, police officers, chief district officers, medical officers, journalists and local students.

In 1996, an awareness program was completed in the district of Udaipur. In 1997, another was done at Jhapa and Makwanpur districts. Other awareness programs were held at Rupandehi, Sunsari and Morang districts in 1998.
