Girls Not Brides for End Child Marriage
“I will wear a white dress and have a home and children. I can have the nice house I used to dream about in Syria.” – Ghazal was 13 when she heard about her upcoming marriage.
Her father was killed three years before in the Syrian conflict. Weeks later, Ghazal’s mother fled across the border with her four daughters to keep them safe.
As a married mother of two, Ghazal has advocated to stop her sister’s marriage. And with the support of her husband Khalid, she’s determined that her daughter Hana will not become a child bride .
Ghazal was supported by International Rescue Committee in Lebanon through their Life Skills for Early Marriage sessions.
She shared her experiences with other girls over five months,and learnt vital information and skills such as reproductive health, decision-making in the home and how to maintain healthy relationships to improve her well-being and resilience.
