Students, parents, and religious leaders have reached a consensus to boycott child marriage ceremonies, and local police are actively assisting in efforts to end child marriages.

To educate and raise awareness among mothers/parents, particularly regarding the causes and consequences of early/child marriage, sexual and reproductive health rights (SHRH), and the legal provisions of the government of Nepal, LIFE Nepal devised radio programs, as well as posters and pamphlets in both Nepali and local languages. These informative materials were disseminated in the project area, Palikas, and schools. Approximately 450,000 community members were reached and sensitized through these Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials. The campaign aimed at enhancing knowledge about the repercussions of child marriage, legal regulations, and provisions, along with emphasizing the importance of girls' education. As a result, the community members not only gained awareness but also pledged to boycott child marriage ceremonies. They are actively cooperating to reduce instances of child marriage. It is worth noting that there is a particular concern about child marriage in the context of love marriages, but this challenge is being addressed through professional counseling involving the couples and their families.
