Description

Parliamentarians are key players in ending child, early and forced marriage, as they can lead the development of relevant legislation and policies, set the political agenda as opinion leaders on ending the practice, pass domestic budgets, monitor implementation, and ensure accountability for both national and international commitments, including to reach target 5.3 of SDG 5.

Parliamentarians can guarantee the voices of citizens, particularly of girls, are heard in order to mobilise political will and commitment to end child, early and forced marriage.
