Princess Mabel:

"Raise your hand with me to #VowForGirls. 12 million girls are married each year. Due to #COVID19 that number will rise. Join me — take a selfie and share with #VowForGirls. 1 post = $1 donation from @crateandbarrel @sundancenow to @VowForGirls to stand up for the rights of girls and help end #childmarriage. #DayOfTheGirl #IDG2020"

A new partnership between Princess Mabel and Princess Miriam of Bulgaria

"It’s been fantastic to partner with my friend and talented jewellery designer @miriamdeungria for @vowforgirls’ latest collaboration. Her cool ‘I DON’T’ rings will help children at the risk of child marriage to say ‘I don’t’. Every year, 12 million girls are married off before their 18th birthday. We believe that every girl should be able to decide whether, when and whom to marry. 100% of proceeds from the sale of the ‘I DON’T’ rings are donated to VOW to help #endchildmarriage."

I am glad she is so committed to this cause. Children should be children, not brides and mothers.

This 'stepping into a new role' meant that she quit as Chair of the Board (see her profile on their website) but remains involved as 'Global Champion'. Other champions include(d): archbishop Desmond Tutu, Graca Machel (widow of Nelson Mandela (and former president of Mozambique Samora Machel)) and Sonita Alizadeh (25-year old Afghan-born rapper and activist).
