युनिसेफ: नेपालमा बालविवाह दर २८ प्रतिशतमा झर्यो

युनिसेफको नयाँ advocacy brief 'Ending Child Marriage in Nepal: A Decade of Data and a Call to Action' अनुसार १८ वर्ष नपुग्दै विवाह गर्ने २०–२४ वर्ष उमेर समूहका महिलाको अनुपात सन् २०१४ को ३७ प्रतिशतबाट २०२४–२५ मा २८ प्रतिशतमा झरेको छ। यो प्रतिवेदन हरेक वर्ष अक्टोबर ११ मा मनाइने अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय बालिका दिवसको अवसरमा सार्वजनिक गरिएको हो। यस प्रगतिका बीच पनि नेपाल सन् २०३० सम्म बालविवाह अन्त्य गर्ने आफ्नो प्रतिबद्धता पूरा गर्ने मार्गमा छैन, र सबैभन्दा गरिब परिवारका बालिका अझै पछाडि परेका छन्।
