Across vulnerable communities, harmful practices like early and forced marriage continue to rob children of their futures. These abuses are often reinforced by social norms, economic pressures, and weak accountability systems — leaving girls especially at risk of violence, exploitation, and lost opportunities.
This initiative supports grassroots organizations to lead prevention and protection efforts. Activities include community surveillance, legal assistance, and collaboration with paralegals, health promoters, and justice actors to disrupt child marriages and ensure cases are processed through formal systems. Alongside legal accountability, the program emphasizes social norms change — engaging communities in dialogues, forums, and film screenings to challenge practices like bride price and early betrothal, while promoting equality and respect for children’s rights.
Selected organizations will play a vital role in safeguarding children, strengthening justice pathways, and shifting harmful attitudes at the community level.
