Brief Description


In 2021, the National Coalition for Ending Child Marriages conducted a media campaign "Childhood, not Marriage", which aims to draw attention to the problem and incidence of child marriages, but also to show examples of women and girls whose families saw the importance of educating girls and thus supported them adequately in their growth and development. The campaign was presented to local self-government units together with guidelines for participation in the campaign. The campaign has been viewed over 500,000 times on social media.
