From unconventional venues to unique attire choices, modern couples are redefining what it means to celebrate love. But what if one of these unique touches could mean helping change the lives of millions of girls around the world? This is where VOW for Girls steps in.
Founded by Princess Mabel van Orange of the Netherlands, a serial entrepreneur for social change and founder of VOW for Girls, this unique charity aims to tackle the urgent issue of child marriage through a creative and powerful funding method. Instead of the usual wedding day traditions, VOW for Girls invites couples to use their special day as a force for good. By saying 'I do,' couples can empower millions of young girls to say 'I do' to a brighter future.
The Urgency of the Issue
Child marriage is a devastating issue that affects 12 million girls each year. That's one girl every three seconds who is stripped of her rights to education, health, and choice. Once married, these girls face increased risks of domestic violence, early pregnancy, and a lifetime of poverty. It's a cycle that traps them and their future generations in a web of disadvantage. The need for intervention is immediate and critical.
How Couples Can Make a Difference
VOW for Girls offers couples various ways to incorporate this mission into their wedding celebrations. The options are flexible, allowing couples to choose what fits best with their vision for their day. Here's how they can get involved:
