About the campaign

A Non-Governmental Organisation based in the United Kingdom and funded in 2011 by the Elders. The aim of the organisation is to tackle child marriages all around the world by concluding partnerships with local organisations and communities. Girls Not Brides also has regional offices to oversee our local campaigns, notably one in Asia. Find out more about us through our website : https://www.girlsnotbrides.org/ 

A grassroots women's organisation dedicated to empowering adolescent girls and women in rural and tribal areas. Lal Chunar works directly with communities at the village level, focusing on education, health, gender equality, and social justice. Their team is made up of local women leaders, volunteers, and educators who understand the social and cultural stakes behind child marriage, and who are trusted voices in their communities. 

Lal Chunar also trains girls to speak up for their rights and become change-makers in their own villages. This experience is very helpful for us to define the right key to people's minds. Their strong presence on the ground, their knowledge of local languages and customs, and their deep relationships with community members make them a powerful force in helping us prevent child marriages and promote long-term change. Together, we are creating a network of awareness, support, and hope for a better future for young girls in Madhya Pradesh.

A statutory body that works to protect and support the rights of women in Madhya Pradesh. They focus on many serious issues affecting women, including violence, discrimination, and child marriage. Their team helps by giving legal advice, spreading awareness, supporting victims, and making sure laws meant to protect women and girls are followed. Their knowledge of the law, understanding of local culture, and long experience working with women in both cities and villages are incredibly helpful. Together, we will organise training sessions, community programs, and awareness events to stop child marriages before they happen. We also work with them to make sure the government listens to the voices of girls and families who want change.
