#endforcedmarriage“South African leaders and organisations may despise my outspokenness about being forced into marriage at age 17, before I became a medical doctor but the truth cannot remain hidden behind manipulated statistics.” - Dr. Thandeka Mazibuko #endchildmarriage

[endforcedmarriages @endforcedmarria]

Victory is ours!” Dr. Thandeka Mazibuko exclaimed, as survivors of forcedmarriage took control of their narrative at #CSW68. No longer manipulated abused by organizations, that have sidelined, threaten & refused survivors to be panelist celebrated newfound space #endchildmarrige

Survivors of #forcedmarriage are not objects to be manipulated or controlled; they are individuals with valuable skills, talents, & aspirations, few have achieved remarkable feats like becoming doctors." - Dr. Thandeka Mazibuko #endforcedmarriages #endchildmarriage #csw68

[endforcedmarriages @endforcedmarria]

In the face of adversity, Dr. Thandeka Mazibuko didn’t just survive; she soared. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of education and the unwavering spirit of survivors who refuse to let their past define their future. #CSW68 #endforcedmarriages #endchildmarriage

From the shackles of forced marriage at 17, Dr. Thandeka Mazibuko @cancerdr3 emerged as a beacon of hope and resilience. Her journey from survivor to scholar says education is not just a path to enlightenment but also a powerful tool for liberation. #endchildmarriage #CSW68

forced marriage contradicts God's will, impeding the sacred purpose He has for His children. Let us break down the barriers of oppression and walk in the divine freedom God intended." - Dr. Thandeka Mazibuko MD #endforcedmarriage #CSW68 #endchildmarriage

[endforcedmarriages @endforcedmarria]

Debunk the myths about survivors of forced marriage , this is a fact that there is a survivor of forced marriage who became a medical doctor and specialized in #RadiationOncology , this made many organisations angry than happy at #CSW68 #endforcedmarriages #endchildmarriage

[endforcedmarriages @endforcedmarria]

@UNICEF Did you know that survivors of forced marriage are medical doctors? Just like they did to Africa, showing pictures of Africans with flies, now they are doing the same to survivors of forced marriage." - Dr. Thandeka Mazibuko survivor of forced marriage at 17 #endchildmarriage

@Gufasha_Found @GPChildMarriage @GirlsNotBrides @UNGEI @GirlsFirstFin @shesthefirst @PlanGlobal @UNICEFUganda @UNICEFEducation @UNFPA_ESARO "When you exclude survivors from panels, you perpetuate their marginalization & deny their invaluable insights." - Dr. Thandeka Mazibuko survivors were audiences and you all were expects . you are speak for & about not with survivors while they are in the room #endchildmarriage

[endforcedmarriages @endforcedmarria]

@Gufasha_Found @GirlsNotBrides @GirlsFirstFin @HeyGirlsUK @WITHandFORgirls @DaysForGirls @UNGEI @girlsalliance @GirlsGeneration @WomenriseNFT Reducing survivors of forced marriage to mere symbols of victimhood is dehumanizing and perpetuates harmful stereotypes. It's time to recognize their diverse identities and capabilities, add their achievements as medical professionals." - Dr. Thandeka Mazibuko #endchildmarriage

[endforcedmarriages @endforcedmarria]

@GPChildMarriage "Did you know that at this event was a medical doctor who was a survivor of forced marriage, Dr. Thandeka Mazibuko? Only the speakers knew this, and Nankali Maskud of @unicef . She remained quiet, healing herself from triggers and sidelining. #endchildmarriage

[endforcedmarriages @endforcedmarria]

Did you know that the E you used to launch your phase III was @cancerdr3 idea which was discussed with Nankali Maskud in March 2023, a medical doctor who is a survivor of forced marriage. This is going down to history
