Meet Patricia

Meet Patricia. Patricia is 14 years old and participates in an after-school program in Uganda that teaches her confidence and provides her with a safe space to learn her rights. Patricia dreams of being a doctor one day! But that’s not the reality for some of her friends, who have become child brides. Count to three. 1...2...3... A child just became a bride. Twelve million girls a year, some as young as 8, become child brides. That’s where @vowforgirls comes in – a growing global movement that partners with brands and individuals to end the international child marriage crisis. 100% of the funds they raise are invested in underfunded local efforts that advance girls’ rights. #VOWForGirls is a vow for the future. Join me and take a vow to end child marriage. Check out vowforgirls.org to learn more.
