🚺 On International #DayoftheGirl, we're celebrating every girl's right to pursue her vision for a bright future. 🌟 🇳🇵 In #Nepal, many girls under age 18 like Anju face pressure to marry early, putting them at increased risk of negative health outcomes and limiting their economic opportunities. But thanks to a Breakthrough ACTION community education effort, led by CCP, Anju's parents changed their minds. Now, they encourage her to pursue her goals first before marrying. "Things have changed ... Our grandmothers, mothers and aunts who listen to these preachings now say, 'Daughters have the right to education and need to be competent.'" 🎥 Watch Anju's story to see how we're helping communities change deeply ingrained social norms to address and prevent child early and forced marriage. #CEFM | #BreakthroughACTION | #IDGC2024 | #USAID | #childmarriage USAID | Debora Freitas Lopez
