The Committee include young girls, young boys, women and men. They meet every Sunday to discuss cases of rights violations in their village and how to address them.

This community led protection intervention is being supported by UNICEF to promote the rights of children and address potentially harmful practices such as child marriage.

Here is part of the lyrics "Allah comforts you when you feel down We are begging our parents We are asking the men and the women, We are telling you to take care of your children To look after them, to always respect their rights To make them feel comfortable, and show them love. . . ."
