Abstract: The purpose of the national consultation was to bring together initiatives from across the country to share experience and challenges. This report is the final draft of the discussions and a common agenda of advocacy against child marriage and child protection. It provided a platform to share learnings based on grass root level efforts on what works and what does not by various stakeholders of civil society, government agencies and the communities. While this report presents the deliberations and discussions of the consultation, it also delves in some detail into the existing debates, legal issues and other important discussions on this issue.
