At the world's biggest diplomatic stage, the UN General Assembly in New York, leaders from nearly 150 nations gather to shape global futures. Amid this, Child Rights Activist and Founder, Just Rights for Children (JRC), Bhuwan Ribhu, stands out as a key Indian voice. Along with the Government of Kenya, Office of H.E. Dr. Fatima Maada Bio, First Lady of Sierra Leone and President of OAFLAD, the Permanent Mission of Sierra Leone, JRC has partnered with the World Jurist Association, and Jurists for Children Worldwide, to organise a high-level UNGA side event spotlighting the urgent need to end child marriage by putting justice and the rule of law at the heart of prevention.
This powerful partnership is driving change, showing India's model to the world and working together to protect millions of children. With nearly 4 lakh child marriages prevented in just three years, JRC highlights India's impact and commitment on the global stage.
