Juthika knows all about the girl effect – she is the girl effect.
The oldest of three children, Juthika and her family live in a small village in Bangladesh. Her father was unable to work, and her mother struggled to make ends meet. So Juthika took matters into her own hands.
At the age of 13, Juthika joined the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee’s (BRAC) ELA program (brac.net). Through BRAC, she learned how to grow vegetables and raise livestock. She also learned about the dangers of childhood marriage and pregnancy as well as the strain dowries put on families.
Today, Juthika helps her mother support their family. She raises ducks, maintains a vegetable garden, tutors schoolboys, and embroiders handkerchiefs. She is continuing her schooling and is paying for her siblings’ education as well. Juthika still attends BRAC ELA and is speaking out about dowries and childhood marriage.
Juthika is the girl effect.
