  • A young girl smiles at the camera as a group of teenaged mothers and child brides gather to listen to a female community health worker speak of family planning and pregnancy health in Bhaishahi village, Bardia, Western Nepal, on 29th June 2012. In Nepal, some girls not much older than this girl is married off as dowry payments for young girls are much less than older ones. In Bardia, StC works with the district health office to build the capacity of female community health workers who are on the frontline of health service provision like ante-natal and post-natal care, and working together against child marriage and teenage pregnancy especially in rural areas.

  • Nitu and Suki (in pink) (not their real names), stand for a portrait with their family in Jhaju village, Bikaner, Rajasthan, India on 4th October 2012. Now 18, Nitu was married off at age 10 to a boy of around the same age, but only went to live with her in-laws when she was 12, after she had finished studying up to class 6. The three sisters, aged 10, 12, and 15 were married off on the same day by their maternal grandfather while their father was hospitalized. She was abused by her young husband and in-laws so her father took her back after hearing that her husband, who works in a brick kiln, was an alcoholic and was doing drugs and crime. She had only spent a few days at her husband's house at that time. Her father (now out of the hospital) has said that she will only be allowed to return to her husband's house if he changes his ways but so far, the negotiations are still underway. Her sister, Suki, now age 20, was married off at age 12 but only went to live with her husband when she was 14. Her husband died three years after she moved in, leaving her with a daughter, now 6, and a son, now 4. She has no parents-in-laws and thus returned to her parents house after being widowed because her brother-in-law, who had become the head of the family after his brother's death, had refused to allow Suki to inherit her deceased husband's fair share of agriculture land. Although Suki's father wants her to remarry, she refuses to, hoping instead to be able to support her family through embroidery and tailoring work. The family also makes hand-loom cotton to subsidize their collective household income. Photo by Suzanne Lee for PLAN UK

  • Nitu (not her real name), sits in her kitchen in Jhaju village, Bikaner, Rajasthan, India on 4th October 2012. Now 18, she was married off at age 10 to a boy of around the same age, but only went to live with her in-laws when she was 12, after she had finished studying up to class 6. The three sisters, aged 10, 12, and 15 were married off on the same day by their maternal grandfather while their father was hospitalized. She was abused by her young husband and in-laws so her father took her back after hearing that her husband, who works in a brick kiln, was an alcoholic and was doing drugs and crime. She had only spent a few days at her husband's house at that time. Her father (now out of the hospital) has said that she will only be allowed to return to her husband's house if he changes his ways but so far, the negotiations are still underway.

  • Suki's (not her real name) mother plays with Suki's young son in their house in Jhaju village, Bikaner, Rajasthan, India on 4th October 2012. Now 20, Suki was married off at age 12, but only went to live with her husband when she was 14. The three sisters, aged 10, 12, and 15 were married off on the same day by their maternal grandfather while their father was hospitalized. Her husband died three years after she moved in, leaving her with a daughter, now 6, and a son, now 4. She has no parents-in-laws and thus returned to her parents house after being widowed because her brother-in-law, who had become the head of the family after his brother's death, had refused to allow Suki to inherit her deceased husband's fair share of agriculture land. Although Suki's father wants her to remarry, she refuses to, hoping instead to be able to support her family through embroidery and tailoring work. The family also makes hand-loom cotton to subsidize their collective household income. Photo by Suzanne Lee for PLAN UK

Manisha was married off when she was 14 but secretly used contraceptives with the help of her husband's sister. When he found out, he forced her to stop and she was soon pregnant with no money to terminate it. She's now 8 months pregnant again even though her husband neglects and abuses her and her son. He also mistreats Pramila and earlier this year, a fellow villager secretly married Pramila off to a man in his mid-20s but the marriage was annulled the day after when her uncle, Manisha's husband found out and wrestled her back. Now, Pramila is still mistreated by her uncle and is considered a divorcee since she spent one night with the man she was married to, but she is back in school and has ambitions to become a nurse.

  • Video Volunteer videojournalist Niru J. Rathod (right), 24, helps her sisters to prepare lunch as her sister Nayna (left), 27, combs her hair at home in Surendranagar, Gujarat, India on 14 December 2012. While Niru's sisters have become seamstresses or housewives, Niru, the 8th child in a family of 11 girls born to a Dalit construction worker, has been using videography for social change since 2006. She shoots and produces her own short documentaries and is a committed video activist, having conducted hundreds of village video screenings where she also speaks to thousands of men, shattering their ideas about what a woman and a Dalit can do while bringing massive changes to the communities she documents.
