We call on all governments to take all necessary action to end child marriage by:
- The full implementation of the above mentioned Human Rights Conventions.
- Adopting a clear and unambiguous position on child and forced marriages.
- Introducing laws to rise the legal age of marriage to 18 years as a universal law.
- Raising the awareness on the negative impacts of child marriage.
- Promoting and protecting the sexual and reproductive health and rights of girls and young women, through legislation, availability of services and information and community outreach.
- Promoting gender equality and the right of girls and young women to education.
- Promoting higher education to all young girls so that they can decide what is important for their future.
