The religious women's organization 'Aisyiyah, with an estimated membership of approximately 20 million, has actively contributed to the prevention of child marriage through a range of initiatives.

Furthermore, the organization has published the Sakinah Family Book and implemented the Bina Keluarga Sakinah programme to promote pre-marital preparedness, improve access to reproductive health services, prevent Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C), and foster community engagement in efforts to prevent child marriage.
