Girls Not Brides: The Global Partnership to End Child Marriages

Girls Not Brides: The Global Partnership to End Child Marriage is an international non-governmental organization with the mission to end child marriage throughout the world.

 The organization was created by The Elders to enable small groups from around the world to address the common issue of early marriage.

As of 2017, more than 700 organizations from over 85 countries are partnership members of Girls Not Brides. Less than 10 percent of partnership members are international organizations. 

Sixty-three percent of them focus their work in their own communities.

Girls Not Brides worked to include ending child marriage in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

Girls Not Brides works alongside governments to develop, implement, and monitor strategies to end child marriage nationwide. Sharing information to better combat child marriage and raising public awareness of child marriage are the main goals of the national partnerships they have with Bangladesh, Ghana, Mozambique, the Netherlands, Nepal, Uganda, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
