Child Protection & Ending Child Marriage

Child Protection & Ending Child Marriage · बाल संरक्षण तथा बालविवाह अन्त्य

Ward child-protection committees, kishori clubs and family dialogue to end child marriage.

Child marriage is illegal in Nepal, yet it is still common in parts of Madhesh. Laws alone do not change a family decision; trusted conversations do.

We help wards form child-protection committees, run kishori (adolescent girls’) clubs where girls learn about their rights and their bodies, and hold dialogues with fathers, mothers-in-law and religious leaders. When a marriage is planned, the committee and our staff sit with the family — and the girl — before it is too late.

What we support

• Ward child-protection committees and referral systems
• Kishori clubs with life-skills and rights sessions
• Dialogue with parents, elders and faith leaders
• Child-marriage-free ward campaigns with the palika
