Girls deserve the opportunity to pursue their dreams including education, not be forced into marriage.

Increasing their access to education, quality health care, life skills and safe spaces can help #EndChildMarriage .

#ChildMarriage not only violates human rights but also jeopardizes the health and well-being of millions of girls worldwide.

By prioritizing healthcare access and education, we can empower young girls to make informed choices about their bodies and futures.
