Former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama, global philanthropist Melinda French Gates, and leading human rights lawyer Amal Clooney convened influential leaders and experts, including former First Lady of South Africa and Mozambique Graça Machel, for a discussion on ending child marriage to help further their collective efforts to remove barriers facing young women around the world so they can reach their full potential.
In March 2023, three prominent organizations dedicated to ending child marriage--Girls Not Brides: The Global Partnership to End Child Marriage, Girls First Fund, and VOW for Girls--formally joined forces with the Clooney Foundation for Justice, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Obama Foundation's Girls Opportunity Alliance to champion initiatives that will help end child marriage by working with and supporting girl- and community-led groups, striving to eliminate barriers for girls worldwide.
