Child marriage is a regressive practice that is a violation of children’s rights. Today with @OAFLAD, @UNICEF, @UNFPA & other partners, we hosted a conference on ‘Ending Child Marriage & Adolescent Pregnancy’. #EndChildMarriage

Today, First Lady @MrsHichilema hosted a summit to tackle child marriage in Zambia. With 1 in 3 girls married before 18, urgent action is needed to give young girls the chance to thrive. Together, let's #TakeActionNow #EndChildMarriage and create a brighter future for all.

It's the energy of amazing professionals like Blessing, of Nzeve Deaf Center in Mutare, who inspire me as they go all the way to work on inclusion and non- discrimination.
A pleasant day, good people

Some messages coming out clear... We must:
1⃣Dismantle harmful social norms that place low value on girls & women
2⃣Invest in girls' education
3⃣Address climate change as it makes girls more vulnerable to #ChildMarriage
