Communities and faith leaders are working together to protect girls from child marriage. A woman, who lost her parents at a young age, was forced to drop out of school and marry a much older man. She was around 13 years old when her mother died and her father passed away three years later.

With little financial assistance, family members pushed her to marry. Years later, as a mother, she refused to marry off her own daughters at a young age. Further details about her story and the efforts to protect girls from child marriage are available.
