Shakil said, “Effective changes can be brought to families and the society if the representatives from the young generation become aware from their own positions. Social organisations like Shuvosangho should engage them with such good initiatives so that they can become aware themselves and make others conscious too.”

Mosabbir Ali said, “Courtyard meetings, awareness-raising events and publicity activities must be conducted on a regular basis to prevent child marriage. Due to child marriage, many adolescent girls drop out of their educational lives and the rate of maternal deaths also increases. To tackle this problem, law enforcement along with social awareness and coordinated efforts are needed. Shuvosangho’s Kulaura unit always wants to continue such initiatives.”
