Bangles and Bindhis: engaging communities about child marriage in southern Nepal

Bangles and Bindhi’s: engaging communities about child marriage in southern Nepal

Project Summary

Nepal has one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world. Our public engagement project will use film to engage with communities about the health implications of child marriage.

We will interview adults married as children, and discuss the causes and consequences of their marriage.

Participants will decide what they want to communicate, and will participate in the making of the film. If they decide to, they will also appear in the film. We will engage community members at the film showing and afterwards, to define the problem locally, and collectively seek ways to address it.
