Nada Al-Ahdal at TEDx: child marriage is a humanitarian disaster
Child marriage is a humanitarian disaster, especially in the Arab world, says human rights activist Nada Al-Ahdal. It also harms future generations.
When a girl marries under age, she becomes a mother and is deprived of an education. She carries a burden of responsibility that she cannot understand or handle.
Nada believes this leads to a complex psychological situation.
This talk was given at a TEDx event, which uses the TED conference format but is organised independently by a local community.
