A group of UK parliamentarians is calling for action to help end child marriage. It recommends the minimum legal age for marriage should be raised to 18 across the globe, including in the UK, and that all religious marriages should be registered. The group is urging governments around the world to help prevent millions of girls becoming child brides.
Our Because I am a Girl campaign aims to support four million girls to stay in education and fulfil their potential. Early marriage can end girls’ chances of completing their education – and can put them at greater risk of isolation, violence and death in childbirth. You can help us keep up the pressure on the UK government to lead action to end child marriage by signing our Take the Vow petition.
