The London-based organization, Plan UK, is taking a bold approach to ending child marriage in its new campaign bearing the slogan, “Give child marriage the finger.” Campaign ads feature the image of an empowered young woman using her ring finger (much as one might use one’s middle finger) to express her views on child marriage.
