EVERY CHILD DESERVES A CHILDHOOD NOT A WEDDING
Child marriage is happening now—and it’s stealing childhoods every single day. We can’t wait. We need action, and we need it now.
When faith leaders speak up, the world listens. The more we unite our voices, the clearer the message:
Every child deserves a childhood, not a forced future.
End child marriage. Let them dream
TAKE ACTION
TOGETHER WE CAN PROTECT CHILDHOOD
Child marriage has the power to irreversibly destroy futures. Every day, thousands of children—especially girls—are forced into marriages that rob them of their rights, their education, their freedom, and their dreams.
But we have a window of hope. With faith leaders, communities, and citizens uniting, we can stop this injustice in its tracks. This is our moment to act.
Faith Leaders against Child Marriage is a people-powered movement calling on spiritual voices and moral leaders across India—and beyond—to take a stand and say:
“No child marriage in our name. Not in our temple, mosque, church, gurdwara, or community.”
Together, we can build a world where every child has the right to grow up safe, educated, and free to choose their future.
Join us. Take action. Be the voice. Protect childhood.
SPREAD THE MESSAGE
Tell your friends, family, and community that you’ve taken a stand against child marriage. Ask them to do the same. The more we raise our voices, the louder the call for change becomes.
