Too Young to Wed: international action for girls

Plan and partners are taking the call to end child marriage to the United Nations in Geneva this March with a striking photo exhibition Too Young to Wed. The exhibition by award-winning photographer Stephanie Sinclair shows the plight of child brides around the world and coincides with the 25th session of the Human Rights Council and International Women’s Day on 8 March. Plan, together with the associated governments and organisations, is also organising a high level panel debate on child marriage at the UN on 3 March to draw attention to girls like Haoua – one of the 14 million girls worldwide who are forced to marry each year.

Wedding Busters: Stopping child marriage

Meet the Wedding Busters - a group of Bangladeshi children who have successfully stopped 7 child marriages in their community.

In Bangladesh, 66% of girls get married before they are 18. All too often they are pulled out of school and lose out on their dreams.

Supported by Plan, the Wedding Busters swing into action as soon as they hear news of a child wedding - spreading their message on girls' rights through education, theatre, and door-to-door visits with members of the community.
