NGOs against dowry
NGOs against dowry are organizations dedicated to combating the harmful tradition of dowry, where a bride’s family gives gifts or money to the groom’s family. These groups aim to raise awareness about its negative impacts, such as financial burden, gender inequality, and domestic violence. They work through education, advocacy, and legal support to promote gender justice and discourage dowry practices. Their goal is to create a society where marriage is based on mutual respect rather than material exchanges, contributing to the empowerment of women and the reduction of related social issues.
