SADC PF public lecture inspires calls for action against child marriage

Participants at the inaugural public lecture honouring the late Chief Theresa Kachindamoto of Malawi have called for stronger collaboration, greater community engagement, and intensified sensitisation efforts to end child marriage across Zambia and the SADC region.

The Southern African Development Community Parliamentary Forum (SADC PF) with funding from Sweden and in collaboration with the National Assembly of Zambia, the University of Zambia’s School of Law, CARE International, and other partners convened the lecture at the University of Zambia last week.
