Child, Early and Forced Marriage (CEFM) is a human rights violation which has devastating consequences for women and girls in sub-Saharan Africa and around the world. It perpetuates the gender inequality that grandmothers in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere experience throughout their lives. It increases the spread of HIV/AIDS and creates barriers to education, economic security, healthcare and safety – challenges identified by African grandmothers for themselves and their grandchildren.
GRAN raises awareness of the prevalence of CEFM in sub-Saharan Africa and promotes a comprehensive approach to ending CEFM that links human rights with national and international laws and the global campaign to end CEFM.
