We cannot end child, early, and forced marriage and unions (CEFMU) without addressing the deep-rooted causes of gender inequality and intersecting systems of oppression that sustain it.
To truly rebalance power and ensure that all women and girls – in all their diversity – enjoy equal rights, status and opportunities regardless of their gender, Girls Not Brides – as the global partnership to end child marriage – is committed to strengthening and mainstreaming strategies that identify and transform the structural causes that perpetuate gender inequalities at every level: individual, community and institutional.
Now, something innovative is taking shape: CSO members in Latin America and the Caribbean have collectively developed a practical and accessible gender transformative approaches (GTA) Compass for civil society organisations to:
- Analyse their work – both at the organisational and project levels.
- Identify where they stand along the gender transformative continuum.
- Take action to strengthen gender equality in everything they do.
This isn’t just another framework – it's a mirror and a compass that helps organisations see where they are and chart their next steps towards transformative change.
Join this Girls Not Brides online Learning Series session to discover:
- How the GTA Compass was co-created with members in LAC.
- How organisations are already using it to strengthen their impact.
- And how it can help you take intentional, strategic steps to address the root causes of gender inequality accelerating progress to end child marriage.
