An amazing morning with the women and girls in spaces of power working to #EndChildMarraige! 👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿 "...children should be children, to play, to aspire and achieve their dreams. Not to be someone's wife." -@PayzeeMalika @IKWRO @GirlsNotBrides @KNFMHBV @IygYemen
This morning we joined a brilliant coalition of organisations in Parliament to pledge our support to end Child Marriage in England and Wales. We stand determined to end Gender Based Violence within a generation. #LTVpanel

An honour to listen to the incredible @payzeemalika share her story of child marriage. We cannot expect children to call out parental coercion - we need to end #childmarriage in the UK ⁦@IKWRO⁩ ⁦@KNFMHBV⁩ ⁦@childnotbride⁩ #LTVpanel
I heard some incredibly powerful testimony from @PayzeeMalika and other inspiring speakers about child marriage. This has to stop and I would encourage everyone to write to their MPs about it. @SarahChampionMP and I will continue to campaign in Parliament. @BridesDoGood @IKWRO

Too often, girls are the first to be excluded from education, facing the perils of child marriage. The consequences are devastating. We must work together to ensure girls can walk to school, not down the aisle say @MabelvanOranje & @AliceAlbright → bit.ly/GPE-childmarriage

Today, on #InternationalDayoftheGirl, @BridesdoGood has launched its #OnlyAGirl campaign to raise awareness of child marriage in the UK and encourage people to sign a petition to support a change in current legislation which would criminalise the act: bridesdogood.com/onlyagirl
Happy #InternationalDayoftheGirl! We believe all girls deserve to grow up in a world of opportunity and choice. Take a stand with us against child marriage! #DayoftheGirl

Sharing this 👰🏼🤵🏻 on #DayoftheGirl as I’m a lucky one! 12 million girls are married each year before they reach adulthood – which robs them of their right to make their own life choices. Visit bridesdogood.com to learn more about how to help end child marriage. #OnlyAGirl

Every girl should have the right to choose if, when and whom to marry. Help girls say ‘I DON’T.’ Let’s #vowforgirls and end #childmarriage.
We fully support the significant commitment shown to global education at #UNGA this week. This is great progress & we call on more donors to stand with #GirlsInCrisis & provide vital funds for their education. Read our CEO's reflections here ➡️bit.ly/2ZoneGU

We completely agree with @DFID_UK that girls' and women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights are a critical part of achieving Universal Health Coverage. Gender equality must be at the centre of #HealthForAll. #UHC
