So impressed by the inspirational Payzee Girls Not Brides fighting child marriage in the UK. With you in spirit this morning

An honour to listen to the incredible @payzeemalika share her story of child marriage. We cannot expect children to call out parental coercion - we need to end #childmarriage in the UK ⁦IKWRO⁩ ⁦Karma Nirvana⁩ ⁦Child not Bride⁩ #LTVpanel

‘We’ve seen how much the law has changed the situation with FGM... Having the message there in black and white will change how people see child marriage.’ Payzee #LTVpanel

‘This campaign is not being done to young people but with them.’ Larissa #LTVpanel

Moving to questions from the floor: ‘what’s the plan?’ asks Faeeza Vaid MBE MWNUK and IKWRO answers that sharing info & data and working together is essential to changing legislation #LTVpanel

‘It is only the number of registered child marriages that is going down - the number of unregistered child marriages is not going down.’ @ikwro #LTVpanel

‘The right to bodily autonomy is separate to the issue of coercion. We have to deal with them in separate ways.’ Larissa #LTVpanel

‘Please write to your MP, but do not write an identikit letter or email - we get so many thousands in a week... Write your own!’ @pauline_latham’s advice #LTVpanel

‘It is achievable... do whatever you can, wherever you are.’ Chantal Khoueiry wraps up the panel #LTVpanel

I heard some incredibly powerful testimony from Payzee and other inspiring speakers about child marriage. This has to stop and I would encourage everyone to write to their MPs about it. Sarah Champion and I will continue to campaign in Parliament. Brides do Good IKWRO

This morning we joined a brilliant coalition of organisations in Parliament to pledge our support to end Child Marriage in England and Wales. We stand determined to end Gender Based Violence within a generation. #LTVpanel

An amazing morning with the women and girls in spaces of power working to #EndChildMarraige! 👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿 "...children should be children, to play, to aspire and achieve their dreams. Not to be someone's wife." -Payzee IKWRO Girls Not Brides Karma Nirvana Lubna Maktari
