As part of a multi-faceted resilience program on the coast of Bangladesh, COAST is using communications to empower teenage girls and combat child marriage. Flooding, sea level rise, water scarcity, and soil salinization all increasingly affect the region, putting tremendous strain on farm families, who sometimes react by marrying their daughters off at an early age. COAST has created radio clubs where girls produce local programming on health, climate, and other issues of concern to their communities – including girls’ rights. By raising awareness, empowering girls, and creating a peer network, the radio clubs help safeguard against early marriage in climate-stressed communities.
