Talking about child marriage in Egypt, Yemen and beyond
Child marriage is a subject that families, schools and media talk about in many countries of the region, including Egypt and Yemen. Talking about it openly is one of the first steps towards ending it.
Why the conversation matters
When people understand the harm that early marriage does to a girl's health, education and future, they are more likely to protect her. Silence lets the practice continue.
Who can help
Parents, teachers, religious and community leaders, and young people themselves all have a voice. Each conversation can change one decision, and each decision can change one girl's life.
What we do
Nada Foundation runs awareness programmes that bring these conversations to families and communities in Yemen, and supports girls at risk of early marriage.
