Çocuk Yaşta Evliliğe Son was founded by educators, social workers, and community organisers who saw the same pattern: a girl who was thriving in class quietly vanished after a holiday, a harvest, or a family crisis. The explanation was often the same. She had been married.
We do not treat child marriage as a private family matter. It is a violation of a child’s right to education, health, play, and a future she can choose. Our work is practical. We keep girls in school. We sit with parents who feel trapped by custom or money. We train volunteers to notice risk early. We create rooms where young people can speak without fear.
We are not a government office and we do not name a headquarters country on this site. We work wherever communities invite us to walk with them, always led by local knowledge and always accountable to the girls we serve.
Emergency school support when a girl is at immediate risk of leaving class for marriage.
Confidential conversations for caregivers and youth who need a trusted adult, not gossip.
Parent circles that treat families as partners in protection rather than as targets of blame.
Scholarships, kits, and mentoring so learning remains the expected path, not a luxury.
Compassion without a plan is only a feeling. We pair heart with school calendars, trained facilitators, and measurable protection.

Our volunteers are teachers after hours, students on weekends, translators, designers, and neighbours who refuse to look away. They run education fairs, sit with parents, and keep youth clubs open when a girl needs a safe place to speak.
You do not need a professional title to begin. You need patience, respect for confidentiality, and a willingness to learn how child marriage actually happens in a community—quietly, often with love mixed into the harm.

The workshops never humiliated parents. They asked what we feared and then showed how school can be protection. That respect is why our neighbourhood still hosts sessions.
As a teacher I used to feel helpless when a student did not return. This team gave me language, a referral path, and colleagues who will not look away.
