Child marriage robs girls of their future and fosters health complications. Thankfully, Barira escaped and is living her best life; choosing marriage out of love as an adult. #EndChildMarriage
Barira, 18, lives in Diffa, Niger.
After becoming a child bride at 14, she managed to escape her marriage and was supported by the village child protection committee.
Today, she is choosing a marriage out of love. #EndChildMarriage
We need to accelerate efforts to advance the rights of adolescent girls. They must be:
✅Given quality education
✅Protected from child marriage; and
✅Encouraged to pursue their dreams
