Education is a human right and for women and girls it is the key to their empowerment and enjoyment of other rights. Child marriage, early marriage and childbearing are barriers to girls' enjoyment of the right to education, the right for personal development and a smooth transition into adulthood, and the opportunity to contribute to their family and society. Different stakeholders should be involved in the fight against early marriage, including schools and educators. This presentation attempted to engage the audience in this endeavor and highlighted some of the policies and programs that exist to tackle early marriage and get married girls and mothers back into school.
