WALK TO END CHILD MARRIAGE!
UNICEF, @GadnetSl & partners held a health walk during the 7th #NationalGirlsSummit2026 & #DayOfTheGirl2026.

When teachers feel confident, children can too. Aminata Sesay helped bring child-centred numeracy teaching to Sierra Leone through training reaching 13,600+ teachers and quality assurance officers. #ForEveryChild, education.
Marie’s story should not be another story of a girl forced into marriage and denied opportunities.
Girls should be in schools, with the freedom to shape their own futures.
Child marriage is never acceptable.
