📢🇨🇴On Nov 5, 2024, Colombian Senate reps & CSOs united to support Bill 297-2024 which aims to ban child marriage & early unions. The bill will be discussed by Senate on Nov 25.

📢 Estamos a un paso de hacer historia. En el marco de la Primera Conferencia Ministerial para Poner Fin a la Violencia Contra la Niñez, trabajamos junto a @GNB_LAC , @equalitynow, @genfami y @Global4Children y con los equipos de senadores para avanzar en la eliminación del Matrimonio Infantil y las Uniones Tempranas Forzadas en Colombia. 🙌🏼👧🏽✨
🤞🏼 Confiamos en que el @CCongresoCol priorice el último debate necesario para que esta medida se convierta en Ley de la República. ¡Es urgente garantizar un futuro más justo, libre y seguro para nuestra niñez! 🇨🇴⚖️
Construyamos un país donde las niñas y adolescentes puedan vivir plenamente sus Derechos Humanos, Sexuales y Reproductivos. 💜

On the sidelines of #UNGA79 we gathered visionary leaders who are committed to ending child marriage across the continent. Child marriage has far-reaching impacts: it takes away girls’ choice in their futures, denying them education, health, and economic opportunities.

.@vanyaradzayi: “Naming is norming.”
We must stop sanitizing and normalising it by calling it "child marriage."
This is not marriage. This is violence against girls. This is #rape.

@vanyaradzayi @UN_Women reminds us that governments spend $2.4 trillion on military expenditure, but girls are getting married because they are poor?! "Can the world buy one less helicopter?" This is exactly why the #2024SDGGenderIndex includes military spending as an indicator!

Caroline Lagat from @equalitynow trained us on the generation equality forum, Legal framework on Harmful Practices and Referral pathways & the multi Sectoral Approach towards ending Harmful Practices. Sensitizing grassroots actors is crucial for advancing the GEF commitments

Girls who are married before 18 are more likely to suffer from sexual, physical, psychological and emotional violence.
Read the open letter, signed by survivors & advocates, and join the movement at the #EVAC Global Conference!

A girl is married every 30 seconds—12 million under 18 every year. To end child marriage, we need collective action. I discussed this in @SpringImpact's #ScalingMindsets series. Watch the video here: bit.ly/4aP4UHK #NeverScaleAlone
