Eradicating Child Marriage
Our three tier approach to eradicating child marriage. By mobilising communities, addressing poverty, lack of access to education, and weak safety nets, we aim to reach the tipping point to end child marriage by 2030. Learn more about our global campaign, Child Marriage Free World.
01
Community Mobilisation
We mobilise family members, faith leaders, parents, and those involved in wedding ceremonies to raise awareness and promote pledges that reject child marriage. Through days of action, community events, and door-to-door conversations, we build a culture where child marriage is actively questioned and prevented.
Our team members and partners monitor risks, and stop child marriages through counselling and persuasion and, where necessary, legal action. This localised vigilance ensures that no child is invisible.
02
Survivor Led Prevention
Our intervention model can be triggered by children themselves or by concerned friends and family members. Once alerted, we engage families, negotiating with community influencers, and using legal mechanisms when required to stop the marriage.
​
Through sustained, ground-level intervention supported by a strong community network, we have prevented over 460,000 child marriages since inception.
03
Addressing Root Causes
Ending child marriage requires reducing the vulnerabilities that push families toward child marriage. We connect families to government support and scholarship programmes, so that economic hardship does not dictate a child’s future.
Through structured referrals and coordination with state institutions, we have connected 2.1 million vulnerable families to government social protection programmes.
