Child marriage is a human rights violation that deprives children, particularly girls, of their childhood and future prospects. It often results in early pregnancies, health complications, and perpetuates the cycle of poverty. Beyond the individual toll, it weakens societies by hindering progress and development. Efforts to end child marriage must prioritize education, access to healthcare, legal reforms, and community engagement to challenge entrenched norms. By investing in girls’ empowerment and advocating for their rights, we can break the cycle of child marriage and create a brighter future for generations to come.
