UN marks November 27 as International Day to end child marriage
The United Nations General Assembly has officially adopted a resolution naming November 27 as the 'International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early, and Forced Marriage.' This move acknowledges that child marriage is a serious breach of human rights. This decision follows the launch of India's 'Bal Vivah Mukt Bharat' initiative on November 27, 2024, which aims to eradicate child marriage across the country.
