The annual #IDONT campaign is a vow to help end child marriage, UNICEF

UNICEF reminds us that each year, 12 million girls are married before their 18th birthday and that if progress is not accelerated, more than 150 million girls will become brides too young by 2030. In developing countries, pregnancy and childbirth complications are the leading cause of death for girls aged 15 – 19. Child brides drop out of school and are more likely to suffer isolation and domestic violence.  Every Valentine’s Day since 2015, UNFPA has called on the international community to say #IDONT to show support for girls the world over who say “I do” against their will. Child Identity Protection strongly supports this campaign which reminds us that child brides suffer in their health and well-being, but also in their identity as they often lose contact with their own relatives.
