UN Declares November 27 as International Day to End Child Marriage, India Co-Sponsors
The United Nations General Assembly has declared November 27 as the International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage, following a resolution led by Sierra Leone and co-sponsored by India. This date coincides with India's launch of the 'Bal Vivah Mukt Bharat' campaign in 2024, aiming to reduce child marriage by 10% by 2026 and eliminate it by 2030. Child rights activists, including Bhuwan Ribhu of Just Rights for Children, welcomed the resolution as a global endorsement of efforts to end child marriage. Assam has been highlighted for its enforcement actions against child marriage, registering over 12,000 cases in five years. NGOs and government officials emphasize the need for continued awareness and action worldwide.
