Stop Child Marriage

Girls who marry at an early age are vulnerable to violence from their partners and parents. Both girls and boys are usually unable to continue their education so that their potential is not fully developed.

The Covid-19 pandemic has increased the number of child marriages. Preventing it can be done by decisively not giving permission and improving the socio-economic condition.

Amid the commemoration of the birth of Raden Ajeng Kartini, a symbol of the emancipation of women fighting for the end of child marriage, Kompas since Monday (19/4/2021) has reported the impact of the pandemic on the increase in the incidence of child marriage.
