The CITIZEN ACTION TO END CHILD, EARLY AND FORCED MARRIAGE Project was officially launched on Saturday 29 April 2023 in Sierra Leone. The project is applying a community engagement and dialogue approach as a tool to prevent and respond to child, early and forced marriage in the Port Loko district of Sierra Leone. Our aim is to have communities take ownership of the project by building social relationships or engage with community stakeholders in pursuit of actions that challenge or counter child, early and forced marriage. It is our belief that the power of collective action through community organizing can achieve remarkable results that benefit everyone especially in responding to gender based violence.
