Child Marriage Is Gender-Based Violence

Child marriage steals childhoods, health and futures.

Our Message

Name It for What It Is

Child marriage is not tradition or protection. It is gender-based violence. It ends a girl’s childhood, interrupts her education, puts her health at risk and limits her future. We call on communities, leaders and policymakers to treat it as the violence it is.

Led by Girls

Carried by the Girl Child Club

This campaign is borne by FYN’s Girl Child Club, taking the message into schools and communities.
