High-Level Side Event — Creating a Child Marriage Free World: Building the Case for Prevention, Protection, Prosecution

Just Rights for Children (JRC) is a network of over 250 organisations working to prevent violence against children especially rape and sexual abuse of children.

Working in India, Nepal, Kenya, and the United States of America, JRC aims to create a scalable, ecosystem-level response through legal interventions and community engagement.

​We strive to build a holistic approach towards justice that focuses on preventing crimes against children, protecting, and rehabilitation of victims, and prosecuting the perpetrators by promoting innovative and sustainable solutions, and catalysing long-lasting systemic behavioural change in favour of children.

Our goal is to eliminate impunity against all forms of child sexual abuse and exploitation by reaching the tipping point of legal action and deterrence.​
