International Day of the Girl Child: Celebrating Sierra Leone’s Landmark Ban on Child Marriage

The International Day of the Girl Child is a powerful reminder to honor the tireless efforts of young advocates and organizations working to build a world where every girl can reach her full potential, free from discrimination, violence, and poverty. This Day, celebrated throughout the month of October calls us to celebrate the incredible milestones achieved on behalf of girls’ rights, well-being, and empowerment. One such achievement is Sierra Leone’s recent ban on child marriage, a landmark victory in the fight for girls' rights that protects countless young girls from early marriage and its lifelong consequences.
