Every girl deserves the childhood you want for your own daughter.
Every three seconds, a girl somewhere in the world is married as a child. Join the movement to give her the time to grow up, to learn, and to choose her own future.
Twelve million girls a year are married. As children.
In a single event, her schooling, her health, and, often, her say over her own life can be taken away. For girls around the world, child marriage is not one harm among many. It is the hinge the others swing on.
Delay that one event, and a girl keeps the whole of her future.
She stays in school. She grows up to make her own choices. She becomes a leader, an earner, and a mother by choice. That is why child marriage is the most powerful place to act: change one moment, and you help change a whole life.
Together, we can end child marriage. Join us.
