On 25 September, on the sidelines of United Nations General Assembly, Just Rights for Children convened a high-level side event on Creating a Child Marriage Free World: Building the Case for Prevention, Protection, and Prosecution.
The event was organised with the Office of H.E. Dr. Fatima Maada Bio, First Lady of the Republic of Sierra Leone and President of OAFLAD, the Permanent Mission of Sierra Leone, and the Government of Kenya, in partnership with the World Jurist Association, the Global Survivors Fund, and Jurists for Children Worldwide.
This convening was a call to the world that child marriage is a crime. It is child rape. With the force of law, its end is inevitable.
