Child marriage is not something that is only written about. It’s happening. It’s a nightmare. Child marriage continues to rob childhoods, futures, education and opportunities of millions of girls worldwide.
Globally, 12 million girls are married off before the age of 18 every year and one in nine girls is married before they turn 15.
Around the world, 650 million girls and women alive today were married before they were 18.
In this interview, Joan Kembabazi shares her story and what inspired her to start campaigning for girls’ education & an end to child marriage and the link between girls’ education, reproductive justice and the conservation of nature.
