Our Children's Day celebrations included an Udaan child marriage prevention campaign throughout Ahmednagar District, from 14 November to 15 December, to encourage people to take a pledge to help in our mission to end child marriage,
Our district has one of the highest rates of child marriage in India, and Snehalaya is committed to curbing the increasing number of child marriages and increasing public awareness and the laws against child marriage. With 33 years of experience working for the rights of marginalised women and children, we have taken the initiative to bring many solutions and results to the social problems of women and children in Ahmednagar District.
The COVID pandemic saw a significant rise in the incidences of child marriage and Snehalaya has prevented over 350 child marriages in the last three years under Udaan Abhiyan. After Tulsi's marriage, the wedding ceremony will be in full swing; thus the timing of this campaignto encourage all citizens to take an oath to fight against child marriage and participate in this fight.
