Fathers club contributes to fight against child marriage

Fathers clubs have been contributing a lot towards fighting against child marriage taking the social curse into special consideration in Rajshahi region.
In different villages, the fathers clubs have been formed and a snake-ludo game is being arranged there to draw guardians of the girls aiming to teach them about the curse of early marriage through dialogue in disguise of playing.
Twenty fathers clubs have so far been formed with around 260 members while each of the clubs was constituted with 13 persons during the last couple of years.
Each of the clubs was given ludu boards printed with seven negative messages linked to child marriage, while seventeen other positive ones on freeing the society from the social menace.
Islam said the initiative has been promoted on behalf of the recently phased out Public Health Improvement Initiative Rajshahi (PHIIR) project to forge social resistance against child marriage through inspiring and encouraging fathers.
