Challenging early marriage in Malawi
In rural Malawi young girls are leaving their families to marry from a young age. They do this because of poverty, adult migration, hunger and the HIV/AIDS crisis all of which are fragmenting vulnerable families. EveryChild is working with communities in rural Malawi through child rights clubs, parenting classes and children’s corners to challenge this practice and encourage girls to access their rights to an education and a childhood.
