Girls Not Brides is a global network of more than 1,400 civil society organizations from over
100 countries committed to ending child marriage and ensuring girls can reach their full potential.
We believe in a world without child marriage, where girls and women enjoy equal status with boys and men and can achieve
their full potential. Together, we have the will, the know-how and the organizational strength to make this vision a reality.
We know that we are more effective when we work together and we believe that – as a Partnership – we will foster real change
in girls’ lives.
Together, we will:
• Collaborate to prevent child marriage and support girls who are – or have ever been – married.
• Amplify the voices of girls at risk of child marriage and defend girls’ rights to health, education and the opportunity
to fulfill their potential.
• Enhance and strengthen efforts to end child marriage at every level.
• Raise awareness of the harmful impact of child marriage by encouraging open, inclusive and informed discussion at the
community, local, national and international level.
• Facilitate learning and coordination between organizations working to end child
• Mobilize all necessary policy, financial and other support to end child marriage.
