Campaign to End Child Marriage in Belize
Consultation Session in Corozal for the Campaign to End Child Marriage in Belize
On August 22nd, 2024, the Office of the Special Envoy for the Development of Families and Children visited Corozal to continue our Consultation Sessions on Ending Child Marriage in Belize.
This collaborative effort between the Office of the Special Envoy for the Development of Families and Children, the National Commission for Families and Children - Belize (NCFC) and the National Women's Commission (NWC), brought together members from various sectors of the Corozal community to foster awareness and to gain ample feedback on the potential impacts of changing the legal age for marriage from 16 to 18.
We thank everyone who attended the session and for their meaningful contribution to the engaging dialogue and discussion. We'd also like to especially thank Mrs. Thea Garcia Ramirez and Ms. Shajarie Rogers for their assistance in organizing the consultation.
Together, we can ensure that all children have the freedom to grow and flourish in a Belize where Child Marriage is no longer a reality.
