the sale. how did it all begin? how did a sealed in northern germany become the most theme is heavy metal festival in the world? parts failed. in 16, dw. what secrets? why behind being discovered new adventures and 360 degrees and explore fascinating world heritage sites dw world heritage 360 yeah. now the hello that are you ready for another edition of the 77 percent. what am i asking? of course you're ready. thanks for joining the program for africa's. you my jerry

t. i. i'm eddie micah julia and you are welcome. coming up on the program, we'll talk through some locals and got the least idea about why child my age. this privilege that vending the media. we get up close and personal with a girl for my radio. but it does have industry change based on slum, opposite compile. raji takes also need for office building town to tony, which has some things that stop with a report by outgo. so viewed, the teen report to atlanta, she takes us to meet 2 young, was on becomes, who have to give up on the dreams, just because they got pregnant after getting married young. i'll let that sinking for a bit. any marriage is in many cases synonymous with domestic violence and risky pregnancies

in this case, that was, i'm beacon government has been trying to tackle the situation, but it's not enough. let's find out. oh hi. my name is elena, i'm from number 2. i will continue to discuss with each episode today we're going to talk about the child's marriage and evil, the to the president in my country most. and because one of the highest rates of child marriage in africa, in the countries of rural areas, about 35 percent of adults and skit tomorrow, between the ages of $15.17 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 that for me to tell us about getting my death? 17 cleaning that i got married because i was pregnant with age based. my parents told me to do so because they wouldn't be able to support my son through his 1st

and then we'll see if 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 you like to study now go back to school. i'm not studying, but need to go back to school. i don't have someone to take care of my son. after the teenage goals can also be exposed to many changes, possible abuse, domestic violence, sexual trust, me to diseases and risk pregnancy. and the presence of mind mika lynn was a cup provide show to for teenagers who are victims of such practices. joanna is one of them. she was forced to marry at 16 young. i didn't think that i could leave this marriage. i went through a lot of silence and i didn't know that the kind of help that card was available. they gave me, i didn't know how to report to the so i suffered a lot. i don't know how it happened. god showed me the way in the association helped me. and i arrived here at. lemme say that again. i mean, in 2019, wasn't beat out load large on unions involving my moms and punishing adults for my

children at the present time of up to 12 shopping kind of a teenager. i'm happy for the efforts that have been made the fight against the child's mortgages. and a house one day to witness the end of this and demick problem in my dia, countries on elena from a hotel reporting for the w scouts of media. you know, i think it's fair to say that anything that shuts as the dreams of any young girl nice to and like now and any child marriage can be a serious problem. they do know that globally, every minutes, some 28 girls under the age of 18 are forced to marry. now all will 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? let's 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. that's 28 girls every minute. in the least developed countries that nothing but w. 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 birthday. 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 continent with high levels for child marriages among boys,

especially across the west and central africa. tier one in 25 young men were 1st married in childhood as he just saw this, but the sticks do not look good. so why is it so difficult to control child? oh, under age marriages and to find out more, we had to a country which is at the crossroads of central south and on east africa. i'm talking about some of the which is one of 12 countries in the region with the highest cases of child mileage. and the rates are even higher in the rural areas. michael league fox, whom lucy trouble took, i totally in rules. i'm the to find out that causes the solutions, the hello very windy by the way, but we are in the toilet in the exam. the some to always drive away from the copy

to a new socket. that'd be a, by the way, is one of 12 countries recording the most high, prevalent cases in job margins. some 29 percent. right. accounting for children being married off for various reasons, especially in who them areas like where we are in right now. and i'm going to start off with susan who walks with an a g o. and of course we are also very involved in sensitizing groceries. communities. talk to us about the situation of child march and some yeah, right now, what do we have found on the ground that he's the major close? number one is the pull, the 2 levels. the pull, the 2 levels a so high that people just simply cannot afford to provide for the children. so once a girl child reach has puberty, they feel the best way is to get her married. really, i know, of course we have met. i'm bridget, who is the director of children development at the ministry. and so if you're just going to give us a brief overview of what the actual situation is in terms of numbers as well and

watch all 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 uh through the various interventions that we have done with communities with our partners. we have come down to $29.00. why not? here? i was actually married off at the age of 15. by the way. why not tell us? what was the situation live for you? what left to you a matter of that age tend to go to like because of paula to what to do in my vote or 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 don't want to the mud anymore. why? why don't you want to be made animals because i am too young to be married and those sticking out of the much but they'll 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 wouldn't want to get married is the health risk that i would face up in marriage and also a violence that i would face in marriage in terms of really the lows of that to buy and job matters in the country. you have, you're expected to reload, so you also have you of course somebody lost, but i didn't 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 children's code at a line when the code prohibits child marriage, it's custom ali i'm stuck to her. 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 yours as

government days, a pendant to that comes with that. uh, for example, under the uh, education act a we on the to, 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 that's how i to then getting married. is it actually the philip? yes, or this intergenerational manages better stop. and usually you find in very urban setups, someone marries to do an amount of to demand for exchange of gallery. and this is the case where you find, i mean, these are living in poverty. so they want to be helped dr. forward, so they let that children go in order to reduce the number of feeding 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? it's about getting married. if you want to add something, there's been instances where children, especially goes, do get mind willingly. so these happens when they have a boyfriend or she'll get, i do. so is it a been in school, especially those in boarding schools define thing vein school. meanwhile,

they are the guys based a that of the boys to and it ends up being emerged because parents don't once the child to bring shame to the family, they end up being more like it made the end up cooking and cleaning and also been beaten by this and my new problem is the, um night 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 that's one of the reasons is because most of the goals that die and does my just die out of the do be jenna best buttons. so instead of them being put together some symmetry, they end up being would differently having that one. great. interesting. yes. you want to add some weight. yeah. then the other issue that don't comment on these that these are for the government but the end of the country. so just going to see that as us to good, we learn from what receipt. so he has a 5 that he's married to $5.00 to $5.00, we mean, and then they, then his wife isn't probably 18 is what it means that even to,

to do that to be true. so i think that is one problem that is will that reference to i think that is important. let me come to you might and bridget, because if children i shouldn't emulating what they see, what i also realize is that these 2 been exposed to images. and sermon is when day was pretty much as early as 91112. and they've been taught how to please the mind and how to take care of a home. isn't that abusive enough? of that is why in the to address quote uh, there's a particular specific close referring to culture, writes traditional writes, as well as religious, right? because we've 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, evan, in evan 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, since i've known it also. that's when the my, all right, let me just come to um and then bridget, yeah, because they're making very valid points in terms of also school facilities because these kids are supposed to be in school or not. and that's 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 has 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. i'm just going to come to my level quickly. you tell me is, is the government's really opposed and it's problem is that is made to children, especially to girls in the different conventions that they've signed. and the policies that they've and i know they're not, they're not. yeah. so if they knew this much in this scenario where the government is labeling television discussing it has to do with that. the students could do that. that alone is going to take them to make sure that people are and i can see the interest that the government hasn't the right to end up being a video of, of,

of which a good thing or sensitization is key. but also as a associations, i think actually walking towards disregard. do you feel you'll get too much support from your partners and even government in, in driving more 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 we've traditionally disc would stand up with this problem voice i gave this and just send with because the word is low in, in, in india, india chief adams. i believe we're going to see another result. and one of the things that we've come to realize is that when a child is retrieved from the, from, from a marriage. of course, if she's not of school going 8 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 a skills, they can go get the diploma certificate we need. i don't if i would say, yeah, i believe those incentives her childhood was taken away from. so we need this thing

just after they've been retrieved from the marriage, dudley's chin, they need therapy. how to do it. um, people are the to some of them after their marriage. so this then does a really need that i know for like government has a lot to do about from justin to dieting 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 treat and prevented somebody about going back, you have to get it from from from that, from there would you have to put it? so imagine this scenario where a boy knows to see todd married easily, goods it can take you to criminal offense and it's going to be practice and delivery did at any point. then what would the generation that is going to do to complete to educate the issues of time, right? you know that if i did speak or if it's going to be 100 by government dentists that are of this very important discourse, what will you tell your fellow goes, you're 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 cool. you wants to be

getting married at a very young age, isn't a good thing. i think of him just to, to the child marriage supposed to be changed because it is something that's very serious to, to it's on every young person out there. i would say get educated and leave a better life. well, we've had a dog. it is a very serious problem that is happening and i forgot, especially here in zambia, i'm from what the kids have said from what you've heard from the children as well and to stay cool. that's this is not a happy situation. the government is doing so much, but there's so much more of that 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 remember you're going to watch the full version of the street debates and all youtube channel. but it's clear that change is needed now. and a lot of the responsibility lies with the governments in the thriving economies

with a probation of basic needs. some families will not be desperate to marry off the young kids full financial benefits. like in the case of killed out in a full time. she was just 16 years old when had grandmother might, how often we mine 14 years has seen in the marriage, took a huge tool and had teenage life and education. but it will take more than that to break that. she's determined to take control of have future, much equal the village in north east, and that will be the places home to hold them 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, a dozen metro if it was such as of my grandmother when i came for august holidays. that throw myself my grandmother, say that this a mental but who came to me and then as there,

which ma'am and for what the endway. and then my grandmother said the man came and then he asked you a asked me your handing for married as sale. why did you allow them into how, why do i love the men to build a house without getting it from me? hilda married a man 14 years older than herself, but she's far from alone. according to the movie and government, almost 20 percent of golf and then it'd 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 last to 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. it's really felt like it's really difficult for me to do all those things. for me, it looked like it's a punishment, a punishment that even traditional list. and so this will, they're just starting to acknowledge and slowly unravel because of hulu

was faith and the good the child's marriage, even though it's 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 mother. i even saw myself very young to have told them if that age and i'm allowed to do this. i don't know if he has to go to the clinic and get and just then for a family plan like going that way. now him to the clinic. i have to make sure that he should know something about it with a husband frustrated by his inability to get pregnant. he'll those marriage became even more strained. simon, and let us take that plan. and then i,

the way i decided to leave that guy is, hey, as for sex, and then i said, i'm on my bed. and then they, they swapped me. so i live in court, in green. i bets my things and i moved to my grandmother's house. the ill fated marriage caused till the to fall behind him had the occasion. but now at 21, she's back on track to finish secondary school. and one thing that i should remember is the name that they're giving. that doesn't mean that mendoza had deadlines that sent him to school and never had to manage that this and begin somebody because he's better and sent him disclose. hilda isn't sure if she wants to get married again or have children, but one thing's for sure. next time it will be her choice. as it should be, everyone should be able to choose the life path now and decide the own future. now,

if not, have funking. let's go relieve some stress in been in from beaches to history and then biggest c t clicked on a something for everyone. if you've never been that like me, then let's photo local slam artist compile. raji. i see takes us on the floor of his home town. make welcome and thank you for being with us. yeah, my name is tamara t. a slam artist under public albany. and i'd like to introduce you to my city where i was born, where i grew up in this beautiful city as cool, cool to new. welcome to my city, license team. come out lots the 5 and the life of cartoon here, the semi jones non locally sims, make sure any trip across the cd is cheap and fast. come on. it's taking us to the neighborhood where he threw up, his family still lives here. the train station as part of the legend of big, i mean, as well as the marketplace. while my mom used to have
