Distressing reports today that 104 people have been killed in #Gaza - 34 were children. The world had hope, we now hold our breath. All actors must work harder to ensure the ceasefire holds. Children desperately need lasting peace NOW.

💔Every year, 12 million girls are married before they turn 18. That’s one girl every 3 seconds.

Poverty, no access to education and patriarchal norms still force many families to choose child marriage as a "solution".

Parmin is just 12 years old. She should be playing, learning, dreaming... not getting married.
