"Close your eyes and picture a girl in your life—someone you’d do anything to protect. Now imagine her becoming a child bride.
Will you stand with us to ensure every girl has a bright, safe future?"

Today, we met with our partner from @GirlsFirstFund to explore innovative ways to champion access to justice for women and girls amidst the global shrinking civic space.
It is crucial to build resilience and secure sustainable solutions where no woman or girl is left behind.

Learning never stops for RTL. The @GirlsFirstFund learning visits for GFF grantees are proving to be a powerful medium for grantees to exchange knowledge & learn from each other such that we're better equiped to serve our beneficiaries.

Child marriage is a vice that has a very high prevalence in our communities with 1 in 3 girls “married off” before the age of 18. In Asuret, we held a meeting with community members on the causes and how to address them.
