Powerful Women Unite in Malawi: Amal Clooney, Michelle Obama, and Melinda Gates

Amal Clooney, Michelle Obama, and Melinda Gates have joined forces in Malawi to reaffirm their commitment to ending child marriage. Through the Clooney Foundation For Justice, they are funding the Women Lawyers Association of Malawi to provide free legal advice and aid clinics in remote areas. Despite progress, the UN warns that child marriage will persist for another 300 years. Amal also met with the president of Malawi, Lazarus Chakwera, who pledged to end child marriage in the country by 2030. The CFJ's work extends to other countries, investigating war crimes and supporting relief efforts during the pandemic.
