BAITADI, Jan 23: A campaign has been launched to rid Haat VDC of Baitadi off child marriage practices.
The Child Network, Girls' Rank Group and Child Marriage Alleviation Committee will head the door-to-door programmes, interactions and social boycott of those involved in child marriage practices as part of the campaign, Haat Health Post In-charge, Binod Kumar Kunwar said.
Child labour, child marriage still rife in Dang
Kunwar said the child marriage brings problems in women's life and deprives them of educational opportunities. He added that Haat VDC would be declared a model health VDC of the district for which the campaign has been run to end child marriage practices.
"We have prepared a strategy to put up a public notice to make public three generations of those who practice child marriages," Kunwar shared. Despite a legal ban, the child marriages are still a norm in many rural places of Nepal. RSS
