**Key Points**

* It is designed for community facilitators working with adolescent girls in 57 villages in North Karnataka, India.
* The primary objectives are to empower adolescent girls to resist violence and claim their rights, and to sensitize multiple stakeholders in the community to support the empowerment of adolescent girls.
