A call to action from Indian faith leaders
Representatives from the Indian Interfaith Network to End Child Marriage are calling on their counterparts, across all the faiths and in every country, to join the Global Interfaith Weekend to End Child Marriage.
​
The Global Interfaith Weekend to End Child Marriage is inspired by the Indian Interfaith Network to End Child Marriage.
In July 2024, the network was established and declared its support for the elimination of child marriage across India. Working with the Child Marriage Free India campaign, tens of thousands of Indian faith leaders, representing Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Jainism, Buddhism, and Judaism became part of a movement which has mobilised millions of Indian citizens, across hundreds of thousands of communities, to pledge to end this form of violence against children.

Below, representatives of the Indian Interfaith Network to End Child Marriage make a direct call to action to faith leaders.
