Alcina has dreams
Although the man is already married, Alcina’s parents force her to marry him. She has to quit school against her will and move to the man’s village.
Alcina gives birth to her son, Peter, when she has only just turned 14.
In November 2021, Alcina’s head teacher Ricardo goes on a course (page 37) with four of his students, and they learn about children’s rights. “Before the course, I didn’t know that girls have the same rights as boys. Now girls’ rights always have a place at my school,” says the head teacher, listing the rights on the blackboard.
