Let's envision a future where every child in India can grow up freely, without the burden of early marriage. #ChildMarriageFreeIndia

[CKN Campaigns @ckncampaign]

The #ChildMarriageFreeBharat pledge is a promise to ourselves, our communities, and our country to protect girls' rights and prevent child marriage. Join us in taking this pledge and making a difference! #ChildMarriageFreeBharat #JustRightsForChildren

[CKN Campaigns @ckncampaign]

More than 550,000 child marriages stopped and prevented.

Behind this number are children protected, futures restored and communities that chose action over silence.
This is our collective achievement.

[CKN Campaigns @ckncampaign]

From communities across India to the United Nations, one message travelled with us: every child deserves a childhood free from marriage.

Today, we celebrate a historic victory.

India showed the way. We did it.

We have a Day.

27 November is now the International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage.

A historic moment for children everywhere. India showed the way. We did this together.

With the @UN General Assembly adopting the resolution by consensus and establishing November 27 as the #InternationalDayAgainstChildMarriage, our Founder, @Bhuwan_Ribhu, expressed his first gratitude to the children and survivors whose courage gave this movement its purpose.

This Day belongs first to them, to their courage, their rights, and their dreams.

It is our promise to every child: their childhood will be protected, their dreams will not be stolen, and we will not stop until we create a #ChildMarriageFreeWorld.

They are the reason we began. They are the reason we must finish what we started.

As the United Nations passes landmark resolution to establish #27November as the International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage, this moment brings together the persistence of civil society and the decisive political leadership needed to turn a global demand into action.

I remain deeply grateful to H.E. Dr Fatima Maada Bio, First Lady of Sierra Leone, for carrying this call forward with conviction and urgency.

Today, we walk together into the world, into these United Nations, carrying with us the hopes of children everywhere and the responsibility for our shared future.

If the world is truly one family, then no child can be someone else’s responsibility. Every child is ours to protect. That is the meaning of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.

Together, we shall.

Every girl deserves the right to choose her own future.

On 27 November, we reaffirm our commitment to ending child, early and forced marriage. Investing in girls means protecting their rights, education and dreams.

Together, we can build a #ChildMarriageFreeIndia

[Bhuwan Ribhu @Bhuwan_Ribhu]

Deeply grateful to H.E. Dr Fatima Maada Bio for recognising Just Rights for Children’s work to end child marriage by 2030 at #UNGA.

This recognition honours thousands who have taken the rule of law to the last mile, stopped child marriages and turned a demand for justice into a global call for action, now reflected in this historic resolution. This is for our children and all our partners.

To have that work acknowledged as this historic resolution was tabled before the UN General Assembly is profoundly meaningful. Thank you, @Ladyfatimabio @FirstLadyBio.

Together, we shall. #InternationalDayAgainstChildMarriage

#ChildMarriage is not a private family matter. It is a child protection issue and a crime that requires State intervention.

[Gaurav Pradhan @GauravinPradhan]

Prevention before Protection. Protection before Prosecution. Prosecution for Prevention. That is how #ChildMarriage must be fought. #EndChildMarriage #ChildMarriageFreeWorld @JustRightsIndia

[Gaurav Pradhan @GauravinPradhan]

#ChildMarriage is child rape. Calling it tradition does not make the violence disappear. #EndChildMarriage

[Gaurav Pradhan @GauravinPradhan]

#ChildMarriage is a crime, not a social evil. Crimes demand prevention, enforcement and accountability.

[Gaurav Pradhan @GauravinPradhan]

A child cannot be “protected” after being failed at the stage of prevention. Stop #ChildMarriage before it happens.

[Gaurav Pradhan @GauravinPradhan]

Prevention is the first duty. Protection is the next. Prosecution must ensure the crime is not repeated. #EndChildMarriage

[Gaurav Pradhan @GauravinPradhan]

Treating #ChildMarriage only as a social problem weakens accountability. It is a violation of law and of a child’s rights.

[Gaurav Pradhan @GauravinPradhan]

#ChildMarriage is not a private family matter. It is a child protection issue and a crime that requires State intervention.

[Gaurav Pradhan @GauravinPradhan]

Consent cannot legitimise the marriage of a child. #EndChildMarriage

[Gaurav Pradhan @GauravinPradhan]

The response to an impending #ChildMarriage must not begin with counselling alone. It must begin with immediate prevention.

[Gaurav Pradhan @GauravinPradhan]

Every case of #ChildMarriage prevented sends a message: the law will reach the child before the wedding does.

[Gaurav Pradhan @GauravinPradhan]

Prosecution is not about punishment alone. Certainty of legal action can prevent the next #ChildMarriage.

[Gaurav Pradhan @GauravinPradhan]

A child’s courage to speak must always be met by an adult’s courage to act. #EndChildMarriage #ChildMarriageFreeWorld
