We agreed today that ending child marriage in our generation, requires the harnessing of our collective voice & working in unity at multiple levels. Let’s now work to ensure a Zambia where every child has the opportunity to dream, to learn & to thrive. #EndChildMarriage

[Mutinta Hichilema @MrsHichilema]

Child marriage is a regressive practice that is a violation of children’s rights. Today with @OAFLAD, @UNICEF, @UNFPA & other partners, we hosted a conference on ‘Ending Child Marriage & Adolescent Pregnancy’. #EndChildMarriage

Today, First Lady @MrsHichilema hosted a summit to tackle child marriage in Zambia. With 1 in 3 girls married before 18, urgent action is needed to give young girls the chance to thrive. Together, let's #TakeActionNow #EndChildMarriage and create a brighter future for all.

''Let us all envision a Zambia where every child has the opportunity to dream, to learn and to thrive. Together, we can end child marriage and build a future where children determine their destiny.'' @MrsHichilema

It's the energy of amazing professionals like Blessing, of Nzeve Deaf Center in Mutare, who inspire me as they go all the way to work on inclusion and non- discrimination.

A pleasant day, good people

Such a power house last night at #WomenDeliver!

Some messages coming out clear... We must:

1⃣Dismantle harmful social norms that place low value on girls & women
2⃣Invest in girls' education
3⃣Address climate change as it makes girls more vulnerable to #ChildMarriage
