THE PLEDGE.
Child marriage will only be eradicated when enough of us take a stand. We are asking as many people as possible to pledge to take action to end child marriage in their community and the world.
As an individual, you have the power to encourage your friends and family to oppose child marriage, and to encourage local and national leaders to take greater action to tackle the root causes of child marriage.
Before you take the pledge, you are encouraged to read more about the scale and causes of child marriage here.
Everyone can take the Child Marriage Free World pledge as an individual. In addition, if you are a teacher, student, community leader, or a member of any kind of group, we have provided school and community resources for you to raise awareness about child marriage.
