Combatting early marriages and bride-kidnapping

“We worked in the areas of preventing early marriages, worked with schools and conducted educational work. Many people think that if the girls get married, then all their problems will be solved. We taught women the skills of self-employment and making money through the manufacture of bakery products so that they could feed themselves.”

MANY PEOPLE THINK THAT IF THE GIRLS GET MARRIED, THEN ALL THEIR PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED.
