Every girl deserves the right to decide if, when, and who she marries.

Realising that right takes collective action. It takes power shifting to those who have been excluded from it for too long.

Girl-led. Women-led. Community-driven. Indigenous-led. Movement-powered.

It takes the girl advocating in her community. The coalition fighting for policy change. The funder willing to invest long term. The organisation rooted in the places where change has to happen.

When we shift who holds power we shift what is possible.
This is how we end child marriage.

Very important! And that’s why we believe girls already have the potential to create change within themselves. All they need is a door. And we must all become that door💜
