Child Not Bride.

Child marriage is one of the major social evil ruling the world today. Even though slogans for women empowerment echoes from all corners no considerable change can be seen in stopping or even lowering child marriage. 15 million girls get married before 18 every year. If the present trend continue 150 million girls will be married before 18 in the next decade. And this dreadful evil ends in their premature death. ICRW points out two major reasons for this. 1. They get contradicted with AIDS, as they often marries a man who is several years older than them with more sexual experience. 2. The early pregnancy often puts an end to their life. It is one of the leading causes behind the death of girls between the age of 15-18.

There is no time to waste anymore. Stand up against this social evil. Join y hands with organisations like ICRW and  give our little sisters a beautiful and bright future.
