About The Event

Child marriages have been of concern by many children rights activists in Ghana. Child marriages in recent years have taken a different strategy where parents or guardians allows under age girls betrothed into marriages under the disguise of the would be husband will take care of her and support her education that never happens. In view of this radio Gurune and our community women and girls every year on March 8 raise issues against violence against women and girls. So march 8 this year is another exciting day for mothers and girls in the BOLGATANGA to demand the end of child marriages. Join us to get our traditional rulers,local government authorities and women groups end child marriages.
