Empower Youths To End Child Marriage

Child marriage is one of the most persistent and ancient malpractices that continues to plague modern civilisation. Despite commitments from the UN, governments, and activists worldwide, it remains rampant, often unabated in many regions. According to UNICEF, child marriage has affected a staggering 700 million women globally. In Nepal alone, five million adolescents have been impacted, including 1.5 million under the age of 14. The country ranks eighth worldwide and third in Asia for the prevalence of child marriage.
