Development Players Urged To Work With People With Disabilities

Minister calls for concerted efforts to end child marriages

Minister of Gender Community Development and Social Welfare, Patricia Kaliati has challenged various stakeholders to join hands to combating child marriages in the country. She made these remarks on Tuesday at Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe during a lunch of a ‘Call to Action on the Ending Child Marriage.’ “It is sad to note that the country has one of the highest child marriages in the region, despite good policies to combat it. We need to have a collective action to ensure that the vice is corrected,” Kaliati said. The Minister warned community leaders and Traditional Authorities (TAs) who are encouraging early marriages that they would face the law.
