The Center for Gender Research, Advocacy and Documentation (CEGRAD) of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) has tasked Women leaders to spearhead the campaign against Child marriage, Sexual and Gender-based violence, and other harmful cultural practices that impede the development of their Communities. According to CEGRAD, the attitude of shielding offenders and allowing innocent Girls to be married off to men old enough to be their Fathers was detrimental to the well-being and development of Girls. To the Centre, it was about time to raise awareness about the negative effects of child marriage, deepened stakeholders' understanding of the issues, and equipped Women leaders with the knowledge and skills needed to fight the scourge. ------------------------------------------------- *University Of Cape Coast (UCC)*
