The United Nations General Assembly has officially adopted a resolution designating November 27 as the International Day to End Child, Early and Forced Marriage. This decision, led by Sierra Leone and supported by 42 other nations, aims to boost global initiatives to safeguard children and promote gender equality. The new date provides a yearly opportunity for governments, civil society, and international organizations to collaborate on preventing child marriage and tackling its consequences. The resolution underscores the need for sustained efforts to protect young people from harmful practices and ensure their rights are upheld.
