Five Pillars to End Child Marriage
Ending child marriage requires more than one solution. That is why World Vision is partnering with communities in Kenya and Bangladesh to address the root causes through five focused pillars that help girls stay safe, in school, and free to make their own choices.
Behavior Change
Introducing families and communities to social practices and beliefs that value women and girls.
Education Access
Covering life-skills training, school fees, and related expenses so more children can stay enrolled and shape their own futures.
Economic Opportunities
Helping families grow their income through savings groups and skills training so financial pressure does not force girls into marriage.
Water and Sanitation
Installing nearby water points and equipping schools with menstrual hygiene facilities—both real barriers for girls while attending school.
Child Protection
Strengthening and enforcing child protection laws to protect girls from child marriage.
