So viewed, the teen report to atlanta. She takes us to meet 2 young, was on beacons who have to give up on the dreams just because they got pregnant after getting married young. Ill let that sinking for a bit. Any marriages in many cases synonymous with Domestic Violence and risky pregnancies, in this case, the ones im big and government has been trying to tackle the situation. But its not enough. Lets find out. Hello, hi. My name is elena, im from a put to i welcome you to discuss of each episode. Today were going to talk about the childs marriage, an evil that you say present in my country was and because one of the highest rates of Child Marriage in africa, the countries of rural areas about 35 percent of adults since gets married between the ages of 15 and 17 stone, we originally much of funding in september district. We have chosen why, which is why the great epicene drug or i will be talking to you that she is 20 and was married at the age of 17. 50 on do the attendance about getting my death . 17 cleaning that i got married because i was pregnant wheels, but my parents told me to do so because they wouldnt be able to support my son through his food stamps. I dont think checked the, i guess any school. No, i did. Why did you quit school . Because i did not have someone who would take care of my son and who do like to study now go back to school. Im not studying but need to go back to school. I dont have someone to take care of my son. Opportunity scouts can also be exposed to many changes, possible abuse, Domestic Violence, 6, which has to meet with diseases and risk pregnancy. In the province of monica then was a cup provide show to 14 inches, who are victims of such practices. Joanna is one of them. She was forced to marry at 16 young. I really think that i could leave this marriage. I went through a lot of silence and i didnt know that the kind of help that card was available who they gave me. I didnt know how to report to the so i suffered a lot. I dont know how it happened. God showed me the way in the association helped me and i arrived here. Let me see cuz that again, let me see. 2019 Pleasant Beach out load. Large ones unions involving my moms and punishing adults for my children at the present time of up to 12. 0 shopping kind of a teenager, i am happy for the efforts that have been made in the fight against the childs mortgages. And a house one day to witness the end of this endemic problem in my dia, countries. And im really in a, from a hotel reporting for the w scouts of media. You know, i think its fair to say that anything that shots, as the dreams of any young girl needs to end like now and any Child Marriage can be a serious problem. Did you know that globally, every minute some 28 girls under the age of 18 are forced to marry . Now all do with this man is prevalent all over the world. Africa is particularly affected by it. But how wide spread is it on the continent . Lets take a closer look child and forced marriage is a violation of human rights and a harmful practice that disproportionately affects women and girls globally. Around 650000000 women and girls a live today were married before the 18th birthday. Every year, at least 12000000 girls are married before they reach the age of 18. Thats 28 girls every minute. In the least developed countries, thats nothing but double west and Central Africa have the highest prevalence of Child Marriage in the world. For out of 10 girls, they are married before they turn 18 and one in 10 is married before the 15th. The state in eastern and southern africa, around one 3rd of the regions, young women were married before the age of 18. The practice occurs among boys as well. Africa is also a consonant with high levels for Child Marriages among boys, especially across the west and Central Africa. Here one in 25 young men were 1st married in childhood. I actually just saw this, but the sticks do not look good. So why is it so difficult to control, child, or under age mary . Just to find out more, we had to a country which is at the crossroads of central south and on east africa. Im talking about some of the, which is one of 12 countries in the region with the highest cases of Child Marriage. And the rates are even higher in the rural areas. My colleague fucked him a little. She travel took, i totally in rules. Im the to find out the cost is im the solutions, the hello very, when do you by the way, but we are in control of the exam. Be some to always drive away from the copy to a new socket. Thatd be a, by the way, is one of 12 countries recording the most high, prevalent cases in Child Marriages, some 29 percent rate con for children being married off for various reasons, especially in the area like well, we are in right now and im going to start off with susan who walks with an angel. And of course we are also very involved in sensitizing groceries. Communities talk 1st about the situation of child march insomnia. Right now. What we found on the ground that hes the major quote. Number one is to pull the 2 levels, the pull, the 2 levels a sole high that people just simply cannot afford to provide for the children. So once a girl child reach us puberty, they feel the best way is to get her married. Really. And of course, we have met a bridget who is the director of Children Development at the ministry. And so if youre just going to give us a brief overview of what the actual situation is in terms of numbers as well, and why Child Marriage is mostly predominant in terms of numbers, i would like to say that since 2015 when the whole a, when is broke out, we will act 42 percent as a country and through the various interventions that we have done with communities with our partners. We have come down to 29. 00. Why not here . Um was actually made off at the age of 15. By the way, why not tell us . What was the situation live for you . What left to a managed of that age sentence . Gosh, why . Because of pull that to what to do in my as did you want it away, you forced no wanted it. So you wanted to be married . Yes. Do you feel that you would still want to be might oh you would have wished a different situation for you at that age. I dont want to the mud anymore. Why . Why didnt you want to be made animals because i am too young to be married and those sticking out of the much but theyll toward his korean, you are 15. Is that correct . The same age that vinyl good marriage at this age would you want to be . Might god say no . Because of being a girl child, i believe, to say there is more to life than getting married at the very young age. One of the reasons why i wouldnt want to get married is the health risk that i would face up in marriage and also violence that i would face in marriage in terms of really the lows that to buy and job matters in the country. You have your subject to religious, you also have your cost of money laws. What i did very much i liked and what is really the age for marriage here in december. Okay. Been know now as i speak to you under the childrens quote at a line when the code prohibits Child Marriage, its customary and statutory. So that little was so pretend over all the laws that talk about child merrick. But you still have, you still have the communities that actually banking on day these customer you laws as government days, a penalty that comes with that. Uh, for example, under the uh, education act we undertook to iris a person who takes out a child out of school to get them into a marriage for 15 years maximum that can go in for thats how i to then getting married. Is it actually the philip . Yes, or this intergenerational matter does better stop. And usually you find in very urban setups, someone marries 2 to 900 of to demand for exchange of gallery. And this is the case where you find, i mean, these are living in poverty, so the ones to be helped dr. Forward do. So they let that children go in order to reduce the number of feedings and also to just get some income from that. And i think where we need to start is actually change the term from Child Marriage. Because how is it making sense . Its about getting married. If you wanted to add something, theres been instances where children, especially goes, do get mind willingly. So these happens when they have a boyfriend or shell good idea. So is it a been in school, especially those in boarding schools . Define thing very in school. Meanwhile, the uh, the guys plays that of the boys to and it ends up being a marriage because parents dont once which out to bring shame to the family. They end up being more like it made, they end up cooking and cleaning and also been beaten by the menu from his them. March. At the end of the day they become more like is live better, why they have the graves just so maybe they possibly have the kids they have them that in those graves. Yes. Yes. I think thats one of the reasons is because most of the goals i die and is my just died out of the g, b, b, gena, best balance. So instead of them being put together some symmetry, they end up being would differently having that one. Great. Interesting. Yes. You want to to add some weight. Yeah. Another issue that dont comment on these that visual for the government, but the end of the country. So just go to see that as us to good, we learn from what receipt. So he has a fight, always murder if i, if i, if we mean. And then that then is the wife isnt for the 18 years. What it means that even to, to do that to be true. So i think that theres one problem that is with that reference and i think that is important. Let me come to you my name bridget. Because if children i shouldnt emulating what they see, what i also realize is that these to been exposed to images and sermon is when day was pretty much the as early as 91112. And theyve been taught how to please a mind and how to take care of a whole, isnt that abusive enough . Of that is why in the to address quote uh, theres a particular and specific close referring to culture writes traditional writes as well as religious, right . Because weve seen the damage that it as close to the community on one to enforce this by sprint, sending the laws that provide that sort of associated going to make structures on not in place really to prevent these children from getting mad. Do you also agree to that . Yes i do because um, in most cases, even in other areas, is it of having a library . We have a lot of bugs, they end up being having leak are engaging as, as in drugs and so on. At the end of the day, they end up being in the mountains and in homes you know dies may have changed, but uh, mine fixed i have no, it all starts with the might. All right, let me just come to um and then bridget, yeah, because theyre making very valid points in terms of also School Facilities because these kids are supposed to be in school or not. And thats just how accessible have you brought these educational facilities, but you have that. So this time schools are free, so we updated funds to ensure that this child does a beautiful good money transport money to get them to school. So we have that program running. Oh okay, okay, let me just a minute. Im just going to come to my level quickly. You tell me is the governments really opposed and its problem is that is made to children, especially to girls in the different conventions that theyve signed. And the policies that theyve and i know theyre not, theyre not. Yeah. So if they knew this much in this scenario where the government is labeling television discussing it has to do with that that you guys could do that alone. Hes going to want to make sure that people are and i can see the interest that the government hasnt the right to end up being a video of, of, of, of such a good thing or sensitization is key. But also as a association, if youre actually working towards disregard, do you feel getting much support from your partners and even government in, in driving much of resources to this go let initiative. Yes. Um, i believe the government is doing the part and everybody has it has to be concerted efforts. So if traditional lead us would stand up with this problem voice i gave this and just send a weird because the word is low in, in, in india, india chief domes. I believe were going to see a lot of results. And one of the things that weve come to realize is that when a child is retrieved from the, from, from the marriage. Of course, if shes not of School Going Age or if she feels she can, she can not handle school. How are we going to support that . We have what we call empowerment, pulled friends. So we send those to children to go to a place where they can apply skills. They can go get the diploma certificate we need. I dont know if i would say, yeah, i believe those incentives i childhood was taken away from. So we need this thing does after theyve been retrieved from the marriage, dudleys chin, they need therapy. How to do it. Um, people are that to some of them. After their marriage, so this ends as a really needed i know for like government has a lot to do about from just as the diving and putting up programs. Do you think sensitization would be enough for the internet to duck with something done . If you had to cut down a tree and prevented somebody going back, you have to gauge from, from, from that, from there. Would you have to put it . So imagine this scenario way out. And boy, nice to see todd married is really good to take it to criminal offense and it shouldnt be practice and delivery did at any point. Then what would the direction that is going to do to complete to indicate the issues of time, right . You know that if i to speak, if its going to be under the bank of them into either of it, thats very important. Yes course. Well will you tell the effect goes us speaking to a fellow girls now, what would you tell them . Um, personally, i would say been a girl child, i believe in education. If you get educated you can become who wants to be getting married at a very young age isnt a good thing. I think given just to, to the Child Marriage supposed to be changed because it is something thats very serious to, to its on every young person out there. I would say, gets educated and leave a bit to like, well, weve had to talk. It is a very serious problem that is happening in africa, especially here in zambia. Im from what the kids have said from what youve heard from the children as well under stay. Cool, thats this is not a happy situation. The government is doing so much, but theres so much more as it can be done because the situation is bad and hopefully we can expect Something Better to come out of this. Thank you so much for watching. See some of the day by the i remember youre going to watch the full version of the street debates on how youtube channel. But its clear that change is needed now. And a lot of the responsibility lies with governments in the thriving economies with a probation of basic needs. Some families would not be desperate to marry off the young kids for financial benefits. Like in the case of killed out in a full time. She was just 16 years old. When had gotten my that might hair off to me, mine 14 years has seen. Yeah. The marriage took a huge total and had teenage life and education bought. It will take more than that to break that. Shes determined to take control of have future, much equal the village in north east, and that would be the places home to hilda. Im a full time and she was raised by her grandma, along with 6 other children, with a family struggling to make ends meet her grandma arranged for her to be married at just 16. The pleasant metro if it was such as of my grandmother. When i came for august holidays that throw my smells. My grandmother said that this a mental but who came to me and then as there, which maam and for what the endway and the my grandmother said the mans game. And then he asked to, a asked me handing to mary, as to why did you, i loved him into how, why do i love the men to build the house without getting it from me . Hilda married a man 14 years older than herself, but shes far from alone. According to the namibian governments, almost 20 percent of goals, and then itd be a forced into marriage compared with only just of a 4 percent of boys. Surprisingly the marriage took a toll on her teenage life and education, Leland Russell high for me, and then he never wanted me to be friends with my friends anymore. And then after school i just have to be at home and then working for him all the same. Its really felt like its really difficult for me to do all of those things. For me, it looked like its a punishment, a punishment that even traditional list. And so this will, theyre just starting to acknowledge and slowly unravel because of hulu. I say its not good. The childs marriage, even though its that a school, but the we can make it means that the swallow sees in this cool. So you can also come for a 1st period initiation, then back to school. So attitudes are changing, but in her marriage, hilda was determined to make her own choices. Here wanted to have children with me and my i even saw myself very young to have told them if that age in nevada, do they think they have, he has to go to the clinic and get interested for family plan smiling at or knowing the clinic. I had to make sure that to show the buddies with a husband frustrated by his inability to get pregnant, hell his marriage became even more strained. Simon, and let us take this lamb. And then thats the way i decided to leave that guy is he as full sex . And then i said, im on my bed and then the days left for me. So i live in court in greece. I fixed my things and i moved to my grandmothers house, the ill fated marriage caused till the to fall behind in her education. But now at 21, shes back on track to finish secondary school. And one thing that i should remember is that meant that the giving that doesnt mean that mendoza had deadlines that sent him to school and never had to manage that fence and begin somebody because hes better incentive disclose. Hilda isnt sure if she wants to get married again or have children, but one things for sure. Next time it will be a choice. As it should be, everyone should be able to choose the life partner and decide the own future. Now if that has signed game thats cool, relieve some stress in been in from beaches to history and then biggest c t clicked on a something for everyone.
