When political resolve and civil society leadership come together around a common purpose, collective leadership can translate commitment into global action.

A defining example of what collective leadership and sustained action can achieve for children worldwide.

Deeply grateful to H.E. Dr Fatima Maada Bio for recognising Just Rights for Children’s work to end child marriage by 2030 at #UNGA.
This recognition honours thousands who have taken the rule of law to the last mile, stopped child marriages and turned a demand for justice into a global call for action, now reflected in this historic resolution. This is for our children and all our partners.
To have that work acknowledged as this historic resolution was tabled before the UN General Assembly is profoundly meaningful. Thank you, @Ladyfatimabio @FirstLadyBio.
Together, we shall. #InternationalDayAgainstChildMarriage

On September 24, at Responsible AI & Safe Digital Spaces for Children, an affiliate event of Digital@UNGA on the sidelines of #UNGA81, our Founder @Bhuwan_Ribhu highlighted India’s move toward direct local reporting of #CSEAM to law enforcement authorities.
Through Jurists for Children Worldwide, this model will be advanced with partners across 50+ countries.
A standard being established in India can be replicated across the world.

Pleased to join the conversation on #ResponsibleAI & Safe Digital Spaces for Children on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. #UNGA81
The internet has entered the most private spaces of our lives, but our laws and response systems are still playing catch-up. A child can now be groomed, exploited or abused without ever leaving the sanctuary of home, while perpetrators hide behind anonymity. That is why every technology company that engages with children must move from #SafetyByDesign to #PreventionByDesign. We cannot wait for harm to occur before we act. The system itself must be built to prevent that harm.
Just Rights for Children International retweeted
Honoured to be part of the launch of the Centre for Legal Action and Behaviour Change’s groundbreaking report, “Prevention by Design”, at the Responsible AI & Safe Digital Spaces for Children event on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
On the same day that the Supreme Court called for guidelines on social media companies reporting #CSEAM to Indian law enforcement authorities, this report sets out a policy framework for placing prevention at the centre of digital child safety.
#PreventionByDesign must become the foundation of how we build, regulate and govern the digital world our children inhabit. #UNGA81
“In just two years, Just Rights for Children has placed the full arc of child protection in the digital ecosystem before India and the world to act on, from a child’s legal capacity to contract, to the architectural accountability of platforms, Prevention by Design and mandatory reporting by intermediaries. These are not isolated questions. Together, they are shaping a new architecture of child protection for the digital age, where law, policy and technology must be designed to anticipate risk, prevent harm and protect children before exploitation occurs.”

"India is setting an example for the world by moving towards direct local reporting of #CSEAM to law enforcement authorities. Social media intermediaries, streaming services, AI platforms, and every technology platform that engages with children must be accountable to the law of the country in which they operate.
Through Jurists for Children Worldwide, we will take this model to more than 50 countries and work with partners to advance it through collaboration, campaigns, legal action and policy reform. As this standard is being established in India, it can be replicated across the world."

With November 27 now established as the #InternationalDayAgainstChildMarriage, the world has sent a clear message: child marriage can no longer be accepted as inevitable.
What began as a call led by our Founder, @Bhuwan_Ribhu , became a global movement through the collective resolve of Member States, governments, civil society organizations, child rights advocates, institutions, communities, and allies across the world.
We are grateful to the Member States that supported this landmark resolution and to every partner and ally whose leadership and sustained action helped turn a call into a global commitment.
This is the power of coalition leadership, uniting governments, institutions, civil society, and communities around a shared purpose: protecting every child and ensuring accountability for crimes against them.
Now, the International Day must translate recognition into decisive action, stronger accountability, effective implementation of laws, and coordinated global efforts to end child marriage.
The mission is clear: a #ChildMarriageFreeWorld by 2030.

With the United Nations @UN passing the resolution by consensus, establishing #27November as the #InternationalDayAgainstChildMarriage, my first gratitude is to the children.
This Day belongs first to the children and survivors whose courage gave this movement its purpose, and whose dreams now define our responsibility. This Day is our promise to them: that their childhood will be protected, their dreams will not be stolen, and we will not stop until we create a #ChildMarriageFreeWorld.
They are the reason we began. They are the reason we must finish what we started. @JustRightsIntl @JustRightsIndia @JRCNepal

As the United Nations passes landmark resolution to establish #27November as the International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage, this moment brings together the persistence of civil society and the decisive political leadership needed to turn a global demand into action.
I remain deeply grateful to H.E. Dr Fatima Maada Bio, First Lady of Sierra Leone, for carrying this call forward with conviction and urgency.
Today, we walk together into the world, into these United Nations, carrying with us the hopes of children everywhere and the responsibility for our shared future.
If the world is truly one family, then no child can be someone else’s responsibility. Every child is ours to protect. That is the meaning of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.
Together, we shall.
