Hi our names are Belle, Nicky and Jadyn and we are trying to raise awareness for Child Brides.
Child marriage is defined as a formal marriage or informal union before age 18. Child marriage is widespread and can lead to a lifetime of disadvantage and deprivation.
Most child brides occur in countries such as Asia, Africa, India and Latin America.It is illegal in most countries to have child brides. 60% of child brides loose their education because of the fact that they have to get married at such a young age.
We want child marriages to stop.
As eleven year olds ourselves we could be forced into child marriage if we lived in countries like India. To help stop Child Brides you can donate to:
Too Young To Wed,
CARE Child Marriage
or
Girls Not Brides
so that you and the world can make a difference and help those girls who have to go through child marriages.
