Nada Al-Ahdal takes on a project: Safe Havens to protect girls from early marriage

Nada launched the (Safe Havens) project to protect girls from early marriage and domestic violence through her human rights foundation, with individual funding and in cooperation with civil society and the solidarity of the community with her. It works to protect girls from early marriage and to end such marriages after contacting their families, to provide safe protection for the girls who bring a complaint to the foundation, and to provide education grants that ensure they can continue their education

She then adopted a new mechanism to end child marriages through this project, forming a small team of girls to run it, contact guardians, complete the procedures, give the girls education grants and check on their wellbeing.

We took on a project aimed at girls who have been forced into early marriage or subjected to domestic violence. They are supported by contacting their guardians, then their relatives, then the notables of the area where the girl lives, and by calling on the security services to protect and rescue the girl, on the basis of Yemeni law and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (which Yemen has signed)
