It would be great to receive your support in our endeavour to end early and forced marriage. I work for Plan UK, operates in 50 countries, helping to empower and improve the lives of children, their families and their communities in some of the poorest countries. In light of the millennium development goals, Plan, has been running their Because I Am A Girl campaign since 2007 and as part of this, at the end of June this year, Plan, launched it’s call to action, to Take The Vow to end early and forced marriage.
This will not happen overnight of course, however, we wish to get as many people as we can signing our online petition – Take The Vow. This will all contribute to our drive to lobby the British government and international agencies to push early and forced marriage up the political agenda, creating a united global stand to end early and forced marriage.
Ideally, we would like you all to Take The Vow and if feasible to attach links to your website and blog so readers and followers can also click on, sign our petition and Take The Vow to end early and forced marriage. I paste the generic email below with further detail, including links, to join us and help us to widen our reach. Also, once you have signed online you could twitter the below: I’ve just taken Plan UK’s Because I am a Girl vow - sign #takethevow petition too & help end early/forced marriage http://bit.ly/lHt1qt
