Every meeting with the community women brings us satisfaction in what we do. We can see the fruit of our work through the action taken by these girls/women. Recently, we had a meeting with women at Vagaikulam in Madurai on 13.07.23. The meeting started with the women sharing the issues that they face, clarification about various schemes/provisions, the changes that they want to bring in, and the kind of actions that need to be taken. A woman shared that a peer leader Sakthi* who is her niece stopped the child marriage at her village vagaikulam. She is from an agriculture-based family; both of her parents are involved in agriculture for a living and she has a brother studying 6th std. She recently attended the peer leaders' training at Ekta Office, Madurai. There was an awareness session on the Child Marriage Act, Helpline numbers, and the significance of girl children's education during the training. When she was on her summer vacation, her cousin who is 17 years old visited her house and spent her holidays there at Sakthi's house. Sakthi's cousin shared with her that there had been a marriage arrangement undertaken for her and she was not interested at all as she wanted to continue her studies. Sakthi remembered the child helpline 1098 which was taught to her during the training. She called the helpline immediately to complain about this. After that, the DCPC officials responded and visited her home and the parents too. They explained the importance of the girl's education and warned her cousin's parents not to conduct the marriage for her. Now Sakthi's cousin is happily pursuing Bsc nursing.
