Empowering Girls in India to Say No to Forced Marriage RUN BY: The Hunger Project Australia

The Adolescent Girls’ program drives intergenerational change by tackling early and forced marriages and provides training and education to 1,400 at-risk girls in Bihar, India. The program’s aim is simple yet effective: to delay marriage of the girls, by ensuring that they stay in school and step out as confident young women. The reason we work to end forced marriage is because it continues the cycle of hunger and poverty.
