During
the community dialogues known as Neighborhood Assemblies in Maliba S/C on 15thAugust
2017, community people and local leaders discussed issues of early marriages
and school drop outs in the area.Parents
accepted to take back the impregnated children to school after delivering
instead of marrying them off yet they are not of age and the community
development officers encouraged all the step parents who are discouraging the
step children to respect the children’s rights towards education.” As a parent i would disagree with the education
of a girl child but after knowing their right to education through the
neighborhood assembly sensitization, I now agree and know that it’s my
responsibility to pay school fee and give my child a bright future……..” says madam Biira Edrine from Kyanya
village.
