shorturl.at/IGkyb Recent discussions about lowering Nepal's legal marriage age from 20 to 18 have raised significant concerns regarding the potential increase in child marriages. Nepal already has the third-highest rate of child marriage in South Asia, with 37% of women aged 20-24 married before 18 and 10% before 15. Lowering the legal age could exacerbate this issue, undermining efforts to protect girls' rights and futures.​ At Plan International Nepal, we are dedicated to ending child, early, and forced marriages through programs like 'Child Not Bride' and 'Girls Standing Strong.' These initiatives empower adolescents with education, life skills, and economic opportunities, enabling them to make informed decisions about their futures. ​ We urge policymakers to consider the profound implications of lowering the marriage age and to prioritize the well-being and rights of Nepal's girls. Together, we can work towards a future where every child has the opportunity to thrive, free from the constraints of early marriage.​ We’re so proud to see our work—and the incredible voices of girls and young women in Nepal—featured in this powerful Al Jazeera article on child marriage. #EndChildMarriage #ChildnotBride #planinternationalnepal

When fathers lead, girls rise. In Bardiya, fathers are breaking long-held silence around adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights by choosing to learn and speak up. Chetnath is one of these champion fathers. He supports his daughter’s sexual and reproductive health and rights by listening openly, sharing accurate information and standing by her choices as she grows. For him, being a father means protecting her rights, not controlling her voice. His leadership is shifting attitudes at home and in the community. When fathers like Chetnath champion their daughters’ SRHR, girls feel safer, more confident and better able to shape their own futures. Because when fathers lead, girls rise. ……………………………………………………………………………………… जब बुबाहरू अगाडि बढ्छन्, छोरीहरू उचाइमा पुग्छन्। बर्दियामा बुबाहरू किशोरी यौन तथा प्रजनन स्वास्थ्य र अधिकारसम्बन्धी लामो समयदेखिको मौनता तोड्दै सिक्ने र बोल्ने निर्णय गरिरहेका छन्। चेतनाथ यस्ता एक च्याम्पियन बुबा हुन्। उनी खुला रूपमा सुनेर, सही जानकारी साझा गरेर र छोरीले बढ्दै जाँदा गरेका छनोटहरूमा साथ दिएर उनकी छोरीको यौन तथा प्रजनन स्वास्थ्य र अधिकारलाई समर्थन गर्छन्। उनका लागि बुबा हुनु भनेको छोरीको आवाज नियन्त्रण गर्नु होइन, उसको अधिकार संरक्षण गर्नु हो। उनको नेतृत्वले घर र समुदायमा सोचाइ बदल्दैछ। चेतनाथजस्ता बुबाहरूले छोरीहरूको SRHR को पक्षमा आवाज उठाउँदा, छोरीहरू आफूलाई अझ सुरक्षित, आत्मविश्वासी र आफ्नै भविष्य निर्माण गर्न सक्षम महसुस गर्छन्। किनकि जब बुबाहरू अगाडि बढ्छन्, छोरीहरू उचाइमा पुग्छन्। #SRHR4ALL #SRHRmatters #AllGirlsStandingStrong #UntilWeAreAllEqual @plankorea
