  This is Hasina (15), she is a 7th grade student who loves to go to school. She used to live with her sister and her husband, and without her knowing, her sisters’ husband was arranging her marriage to one of his friends...she was 12 at the time. One day when the man visited her house to pester her parents to marry her, she escaped to a friends house and the next day went to one of the community-based child’s marriage prevention platforms (alone), which she had heard about at school. She asked herself, if She married now, would she ever go back to school again? Hasina loves learning and wasn’t willing to trade her education or freedom for anything.That gave her the courage to stand up for herself. The community, along with the authorities, stepped in and stopped the marriage. The man was charged. It’s important to understand that it takes an immense amount of courage to go against these cultural “norms” that have existed for centuries. Hasina is a very brave girl. It was so heartening to see the elders in the community learning from the examples these young girls are setting, standing up against child marriage and female genital mutilation/cutting. Education gave these girls that perspective. This community is an example of how change is possible. FEMALE RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. To make a difference and learn more about @Unicef’s efforts, visit UNICEF. Link in bio.

‘ഇത് 15 വയസുളള ഹസീന. സ്കൂളില്‍ പോവാന്‍ ഇഷ്ടമുളള 7ാം ക്ലാസുകാരിയാണ് അവള്‍. സഹോദരിക്കും ഭര്‍ത്താവിനും ഒപ്പമായിരുന്നു അവള്‍ താമസിച്ചിരുന്നത്. അവളുടെ സമ്മതം ഇല്ലാതെ സഹോദരിയുടെ ഭര്‍ത്താവ് അവളുടെ വിവാഹം നടത്താനൊരുങ്ങി. അന്ന് അവള്‍ക്ക് 12 വയസ് മാത്രമായിരുന്നു പ്രായം,’ പ്രിയങ്ക കുറിക്കുന്നു.

  Abda Abdulaziz, 26, arrived at the Bambasi camp in 2011 seeking refuge from the war in Sudan. Her 5 children were born in this camp and are being raised here, while her husband works as a laborer at a nearby farm - they see each other every two weeks for a few days. She said that if the violence in her country settles, she and her husband may consider going back, but she is not very hopeful that will happen. In the meantime, life in the camp allows her children to have access to an education. I met two of her daughters, Zulfa Ata Ey, 8, and Muzalefa, 10, at the primary school I had visited earlier in the day. Zulfa is at the top of her class and her mom is so proud. While they’re safe and her children are receiving an education, they are still living below the poverty line, and she’s desperate for the most basic supplies...like water, books, and clothes for her children. To donate and learn more about @Unicef’s efforts, visit UNICEF. Link in bio. (PS, the last video...Zulfa playing with my phone.)

‘ഒരു ദിവസം അയാള്‍ അവളെ തേടി വീട്ടിലെത്തിയപ്പോള്‍ ഹസീന ഒരു സുഹൃത്തിന്‍റെ വീട്ടിലേക്ക് ഓടിപ്പോയി. പിറ്റേന്ന് ബാലവിവാഹത്തിനെതിരെ പ്രവര്‍ത്തിക്കുന്ന ഒരും സംഘടനയിലും എത്തിച്ചേര്‍ന്നു. വിവാഹം ചെയ്താല്‍ തനിക്ക് ഇനിയും സ്കൂളില്‍ പോവാന്‍ കഴിയുമോ എന്നായിരുന്നു ഹസീന സ്വയം ചോദിച്ചിരുന്നത്,’ പ്രിയങ്ക വ്യക്തമാക്കുന്നു.
