Empowering Adolescent Voices with Project Jugnu Initiative in Alipurduar

Introducing Proजेct Jugnu: A new initiative led by adolescent children in Alipurduar, in partnership with Population Matters.✨🧚🏽♀️

Through this project, adolescents will identify the challenges faced by their communities and discuss possible solutions with local government representatives and community elders. In many parts of North Bengal, the closure of tea estates has deeply affected families, leading to poverty, limited livelihood opportunities and poor access to essential services. In this situation, children and adolescents are often the most affected but their voices are rarely heard.

Proजेct Jugnu is aiming to change that. Because if not now, then when?

The programme creates a space where adolescent children can understand their Rights, speak about the issues around them and ask for accountability from the people responsible for their welfare.

Stay tuned for updates.
