FOR COMMUNITIES.
Communities have a critical role to play in raising awareness of child marriage among children, young people, and families. Any community group can be part of the campaign, and we have already welcomed student groups, villages and towns, sports clubs, youth clubs, social clubs, faith or religious communities, informal settlements, and displacement camps.
We’ve created the resources below to support you to raise awareness in your community, and to pledge to end child marriage. We’ve included lots of ideas for how you can do this, all of which can be adapted to suit your community and the time you have available.
By running an activity in your community, you will be joining many groups all over the world in making a commitment to end child marriage.
​
Included in the pack is the text of the Child Marriage Free World pledge, should your community want to make a commitment to end child marriage. If you would like us to count your pledges, and to receive a certificate to recognise your community as a supporter of the campaign, we would be grateful if you could let us know by registering your event here.
