Across Africa and the world, children are too often only seen as dependents_cared for but not heard. Children are rights holders with the right to safety, education, participation and protection from abuse. When we empower them, we build safer,stronger, more just communities.

Investing in the healing of survivors is not just about recovery, it's a powerful strategy to break the cycles that fuel child marriage. When survivors heal they rise, speak out, and lead change. Healing is prevention. Healing is justice. #EndChildMarriage #HACM

About 24–25% of Ugandan girls aged 15–19 are already pregnant or mothers — 2022 UDHS. This rate hasn’t changed in over a decade. It’s time to break the cycle. Let’s protect our girls and boys by ending child marriage through support and awareness in schools and communities.

Engaging boys in menstrual health education is a game-changer. When boys are informed, stigma fades & empathy grows. Periods are natural, not something to hide or mock. Let’s raise allies, not bystanders. #EndChildMarriage #HACM #MHH #MenstrualHealth
