Victory: Burkina Faso's Ministry of Justice, Human Rights, and Civic Promotion affirmed the government's commitment to eradicating early and forced marriage.
The ministry plans to raise the legal age of marriage for girls to 18 years and to ensure that forced marriage is clearly defined in Burkina Faso's criminal code.
This is a huge victory for women's rights and for children's rights, and we couldn't have done this without the activism of Amnesty activists like you.
