Leading India's Fight Against Child Marriage

A few years ago, the Child Marriage Free India campaign took root in rural India - a movement led by women leaders and pioneered by Just Rights for Children. What began as a grassroots effort has since helped drive meaningful change across the country and beyond. But the fight against child marriage began decades earlier. Through the persistent work of JRC's senior leaders on the ground, the issue moved from silence to public consciousness, inspiring communities to question and resist the practice. This is the story of Child Marriage Free India, told through the eyes of three of JRC's most experienced foot soldiers.
