Village Girl

Ìý

Girls in rural areas of Kyrgyzstan are very vulnerableÌýand insecure. They are targeted for bride-kidnapping,Ìýdomestic violence, and early marriages. According toÌýUNDP’s report in 2016 on “Violence against WomenÌýand Girlsâ€�, the cases of early marriage are noted in allÌýregions but were most widespread in Naryn and ChuiÌýoblasts (about 13%), the least - in Bishkek (2.4%). As itÌýis analyzed in the report, more than 20% of marriagesÌýin the Kyrgyz Republic happen through the abductionÌýof women and girls.Ìý

Village Girl’s mission is to empower girls in rural areasÌýof Kyrgyzstan to enable them to reach their fullestÌýpotential and inspire them to strive for their dreams.
