Description 

This grant represents Canada’s institutional support to Girls Not Brides. Girls Not Brides uses these funds and other donors’ funding to achieve its mandate of ending child, early and forced marriage. Girls Not Brides is a global partnership of 1,600 civil society organizations in 100 countries. They have members in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas. They are united by a commitment to end child marriage and enable girls to reach their full potential. Project activities include: (1) raising awareness of the harmful impact of child marriage by encouraging open, inclusive and informed discussion at the community, local, national and international level; (2) facilitating learning and coordination among organizations working to end child marriage; and (3) mobilizing all necessary policy, financial and other support to end child marriage. Canada’s support to Girls Not Brides contributes to sustaining a global movement to end child marriage, and to ensure that the movement leads to tangible change for the girls at risk or affected by this harmful practice.
