In many communities, child marriage is sometimes viewed as a way to protect girls from poverty, unintended pregnancy, or social stigma. However, marrying a child does not address the underlying challenges and can instead limit her education, health, protection, and future opportunities. This discussion invites participants to explore practical and realistic alternatives that families and communities can provide to protect girls and support them to build secure and productive futures

Parents should work hard to support their daughters and keep them in school, this will go a long way in protecting the girls rather than marrying them off to solve poverty, pregnancy, or social pressure
