Province Level Network Against Child Marriage

Province Level Network Against Child Marriage is a feminist network in Nepal. Led by young women campaigning against child marriage, the group advocates for the empowerment of young women and community partnerships. During the pandemic, girls and young women are facing various sexual and reproductive health problems and associated mental health issues, and a high number of girls have taken their own lives. The spread of the disease is exacerbated in rural areas, especially among women and girls from indigenous and marginalized communities where education levels are low. In addition, the sexual and reproductive health needs of these girls and young women have not been considered. Province Level Network Against Child Marriage aims to provide rural and marginalized communities with education, support and hygiene products to improve both the physical and mental health outcomes for girls and young women.
