Olivier was bruised in an estranged Child Marriage she was forced into. Unable to endure the abuse any longer, she made the courageous decision to walk away. With the help of her parents, she transitioned back in school to study a diploma in Journalism. Now with the help of partners like the Media Challenge Initiative, and Restless development, and others, Oliver is using media to tell her people in Karamoja that forcing children into marriage is a grave error.
