Port Blair, Oct. 5: Singing in sync with the rest of the nation in arguably the largest ever campaign using music for a social cause, a large number of NGOs and individuals in Andaman sang songs calling to end child marriage in the country as part of the ‘Music for Change’ initiative.
So far, 331 such songs, from 17 states in the country, have been sung in local languages and dialects by women folk singers, local artists and villagers, and will be further spread to even the farthest and remotest corner of digital India through WhatsApp. This unique initiative is part of the nationwide ‘Child Marriage Free India’ campaign led by women activists and civil society organisations in more than 300 districts in the country with the aim to eliminate child marriage by 2030, thereby saving 30 million girls from getting married. The campaign is being run with the focus on implementing the existing government policies and laws in the country that ensure child protection.
