It took me quite along time to develop a voice,and now that i have it,I am not going to be silent.
#ChildMarriage is robbing childhoods,dreams and futures of girls.
I urge world leaders to put girls at heart and take action to prevent and respond to child marriage

At the #HLPF this year, there is an in-depth review of #SDG5, to achieve #GenderEquality, including to #EndChildMarriage.
🔴650M child brides globally
🔴12M more married each year
🔴#COVID19 has put another 10M girls at risk by 2030
We need to accelerate action now.

On this day of 6th July 2018, I came back to India 🇮🇳 after attending the United Nations Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risks Reduction (AMCDRR) 2018 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia 🇲🇳. I was just 6 years old then. It was my life changing event.

During crisis, families see child marriage as a way to cope with economic hardship and to protect girls from increased violence.
Prior to the war, #ChildMarriage stood at 13% in Syria. In 2022, 71% of communities raised child marriage as a protection concern.
