By the end of this event, we anticipate several key outcomes:
1. Increased awareness: Community members will have a deeper understanding of the risks and consequences associated with early child marriage and adolescent pregnancy.
2. Empowered individuals: Young people, especially girls, will feel empowered to assert their rights and make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health.
3. Community mobilization: Stakeholders will be mobilized to take collective action to challenge harmful practices and create a supportive environment for the well-being of all residents.
4. Sustainable change: Through ongoing advocacy and support, we aim to lay the foundation for long-term change, ensuring that the impact of this event extends far beyond the week itself.
