Child Protection & Ending Early Marriage

Working with girls, families, schools and community leaders to reduce child marriage, violence and other risks that limit safety, education and choice.

Overview

What this program focuses on

Protection requires more than awareness. Girls need knowledge, trusted adults, strong referral pathways and communities that actively challenge harmful practices.

Our work combines prevention, mentorship, community dialogue and practical support to strengthen the protective environment around children and adolescents.

Why it matters

Child marriage and gender-based harm can interrupt education, increase health risks and limit a young person’s ability to shape their future.
