Teasing girls, bullying them and passing nasty comments are quite common in rural school areas. Most young girls are victims of physical abuses and verbal assaults.
We hope to make youth aware about legal provisions against sexual harassment and girls where they report such cases avoiding social stigma. Schools in Kaski and Baglung now have growing internet use and we empower social networking and make 35 school blogs reaching 1700+ students.
