India has the highest number of child brides in the world, and it is estimated that 27% of girls are married before they turn 18.<sup>1<\/sup>\u00a0Although the practice is illegal throughout the country, the fact is that many young girls are not aware of their rights, nor are many equipped to say no to their parents or other relatives. A recent baseline study from one of Women Win\u2019s programme partners in India showed that at the beginning of the programme less than half of the girls knew that a woman had the right to say no to sex and only 16% of the girls knew of a place where they could discuss sexual and reproductive health and rights issues.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;35px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1050&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;35px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Meet Laxmi*. At 14 years old, Laxmi lives with her family in the Tamil Nadu state of India where she attends secondary school. In 2017, Laxmi joined a programme at her school called Goal which is a sport and life-skills experience that teaches adolescent girls gender-specific life skills. The programme was delivered at Laxmi&#8217;s school by a community based organisation,\u00a0thanks to a grant from the Naz Foundation (India) Trust, a non-governmental organisation which focusses on gender, health and rights. When Laxmi first joined, she lacked knowledge and confidence; in the baseline survey she filled out, she did not know that \u2018girls and women have the right to say no to sex when they don\u2019t want to\u2019 and disagreed with the statement \u2018I\u2019m confident to ask others for support\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>In early 2018, Laxmi\u2019s uncle started paying more attention to Laxmi when he visited their family home. Her uncle was in the police department, a respected position in the community. He eventually asked Laxmi\u2019s mother for permission to marry Laxmi. As the pressure from her brother increased, Laxmi\u2019s mother felt more and more unable to refuse him. She was in a dilemma; she felt unable to say \u2018no\u2019 to her brother, but she also didn\u2019t want anything to happen to Laxmi. Child marriage often leads to early pregnancy, health issues such as an increased risk of HIV and an increased likelihood of suffering domestic violence.<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0The stress of this situation affected Laxmi greatly; she lost interest in her studies and was always worried. She was 14 and she knew one thing \u2013 she did not want to marry her uncle.<\/p>\n<p>During this time, one of the sessions of the Goal Programme focussed on violence against girls and women. Laxmi stayed behind after the session to talk more to her\u00a0trainer and ask questions. She learned for the first time that day that she had the right to say \u2018no\u2019. With her new-found knowledge and confidence, Laxmi spoke to her parents that night. She explained to them that she did not want to marry now, and that child marriage, such as this marriage to her uncle, was forbidden by law in India and that there could be strict punishments for those who violated it. Laxmi convinced her parents to refuse his offer. The next time her uncle came to her house, he left in a fit of rage after hearing his request was denied.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;35px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1133&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;35px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Laxmi\u2019s story is remarkable. Before starting the Goal Programme, Laxmi\u2019s responses to the survey revealed that she strongly agreed with the belief that \u2018men should make the final decision at home\u2019 and disagreed that \u2018women should decide how many children they get and the spacing in between them\u2019. She did not know where to report violence, and simply did not respond to the question of whether she was able to stand up for herself. Her lack of knowledge about gender and gender-based violence shows the vulnerability of girls like Laxmi who are not educated about their rights when they encounter a situation like this one. A report by ICRW shows that one of the key ways to reduce child marriage is to empower adolescent girls with information, skills, and support networks.<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0In Laxmi\u2019s case, the information she learned from the Goal Programme, and the confidence she gained to speak out, likely prevented her from becoming another child bride in India.<\/p>\n<p>Laxmi took action to change her own future. She was supported by her school and a local NGO, which was made possible through funding by other international organisations who are committed to helping girls like Laxmi exercise their rights. By establishing the Goal Programme in 2006,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sc.com\/en\/sustainability\/investing-in-communities\/#goal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Standard Chartered<\/a>\u00a0has been a leader in empowering adolescent girls with the confidence, knowledge and skills they need to fulfil their economic and leadership potential. In the 12 years since it launched, Goal has reached over 381,000\u00a0adolescent girls and young women. For many, like Laxmi, it has meant a new and promising future. In 2017 Women Win partnered with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/novofoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NoVo Foundation<\/a>, the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solfoundation.li\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SOL Foundation<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.comicrelief.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Comic Relief<\/a>\u00a0to further scale the financial support to community-based organisations, such as the Naz Foundation. Thanks to this support, Naz was able to expand its reach geographically, targeting areas such as Tamil Nadu, where girls are particularly vulnerable. Because of this, Laxmi was able to participate in the Goal Programme.<\/p>\n<p>Laxmi\u2019s story shows that real change and impact is possible. It is promising that, according to the latest report by UNICEF<sup>4<\/sup>, there has been a 25% reduction in child marriage in the last 10 years. But more work is needed; to support more girls like Laxmi, consider\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.womenwin.org\/donate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">donating to Women Win<\/a>\u00a0or the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/nazindia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Naz Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Name changed for privacy.
