Engage with the Lords: Baroness Sugg on making child marriage illegal with Payzee Mahmod

Campaigners engage with House of Lords members who bring about change through legislation, questions and debates, as well as in committee work.

We are highlighting the collaborative work by members and campaigners in the Lords. For Women’s History Month, first up is Baroness Sugg who uses her platform in the Lords to campaign on the rights and sexual health of women and girls.

Watch Baroness Sugg and child marriage survivor Payzee Mahmod working together in the Lords to bring about the change in the law to ban child marriage. IKWRO campaigner Payzee engaged with Baroness Sugg and Pauline Latham MP to raise the minimum age of marriage from 16 to 18 to protect children from coercion and abuse.

‘I’ve worked with many different campaign groups. Something I’m really proud of is making child marriage illegal in the UK.’ Baroness Sugg on bringing about real change through her work in the House of Lords.
