The United Nations General Assembly has officially designated November 27 as the International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early, and Forced Marriage. This global recognition adds a significant silver lining to the pioneering efforts undertaken by the state of Assam in India.
Assam has been at the forefront of cracking down on child marriages, implementing strong measures to combat this social issue. The UN's decision serves as an endorsement of such initiatives, highlighting a positive step towards safeguarding the rights and future of young girls in India and worldwide.
