Sierra Leoneās parliament has passed a landmark bill banning child marriage, a move hailed as āa milestone in Sierra Leoneās journey towards gender equalityā. The legislation also builds on the countryās efforts to protect the rights of young girls and tackle barriers to their education and development.
Sierra Leone is home to 800,000 child brides, half of whom were married before the age of 15, according to a 2019 UNICEF report.
