Birhor tribe joins movement against child marriage
Hindustan Times Ranchi|December 14, 2024
RANCHI: People belonging to the Birhor tribe, a particularly vulnerable tribal group in Jharkhand, have joined a movement against child marriage in Giridih for the first time, according to an organisation working in the field of protection of children's rights.
Press Trust of India

Birhor people are forest-dependent, belong to a semi-nomadic tribal community and are economically and socially much behind others.

Children's rights protection body Just Rights for Children Alliance (JRC) said, "Something different happened in Jharkhand's Giridih district. For the first time, hundreds of people from the Birhor community joined a movement for a social cause. In the dimming light of dusk, people from the community came out of their dwellings to gather against child marriage, a rampant practice among the community."
