Friday, May 17 – WORKSHOP: Ending Child Marriage:A Human Rights Violation – 9:00 am CDT
17 May, 9:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time Globally, 21% of girls are married while they are still children, robbing them of their childhood. In the last decade, about 25 million child marriages have been prevented; however, ongoing and overlapping crises create risky conditions for girls through interrupted education and income shocks caused by public health crises, protracted conflict or natural disasters. Learn more about child marriage globally and how you can take action internationally, nationally and locally to help end this human rights violation for the millions of girls at risk globally.
