Girls rights against negative tradition(Grant)

Project Overview

In many communities, deeply rooted social norms and harmful traditional practices continue to limit girls’ opportunities and expose them to early marriage, school dropout, gender-based violence, and restricted access to sexual and reproductive health information.

The Girls’ Rights Against Negative Tradition project works at community, school, and policy levels to challenge these practices. By engaging parents, religious leaders, youth groups, and local authorities, the project promotes positive social norms and strengthens support systems for adolescent girls.

Problem Statement

Harmful traditional practices and gender inequality continue to prevent girls from reaching their full potential. The project seeks to transform negative social norms, empower girls with knowledge and confidence, and create supportive environments where girls can exercise their rights safely and freely.
