RDC Nepal works to improve both formal and informal community systems dedicated to the protection of women and children, Gender Based Violence Survivors, enhance children’s resilience, and minimize harmful practices against children and vulnerable groups. While promoting awareness is important as the first step, more efforts are needed to create enabling systems to sustain the impact of child protection programs and on ending child marriage campaigns. Beyond the system, RDC Nepal is also intentional to engage children more meaningfully and to support children’s leadership including life and protective skills in efforts to promote awareness and to mobilize actions that address child protection issues. RDC Nepal has collaborated with local child rights committees (CRCs) to ensure local policies and services are in place and operational to protect children. The collaborative actions with the local government have promoted child protection initiatives, resources commitment, and policy decisions.
