up on the program. we'll talk through some of the goals in categories on the about why child my age, this privilege that finding a media, we get up close and personal with a girl was already out of 10 members to change the slum. opposite compile, raji takes on a full facebook in town, clicked on it was something that stopped whatever quotes by i'll go. so viewed, the teen reporter on, on delana. she takes us to meet 2 young was i'm becomes who have to give up on yeah, dreams. just because they got pregnant after getting married young. i'll let that sinking for a bit. any marriages in many cases synonymous with domestic violence and risky pregnancies, in this case, the ones on vacant governments has been trying to tackle the situation. but it's not enough. let's find out. hello, 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 that you say present in my country most . and because one of the highest rates of child marriage in africa, the countries of rural areas about 35 percent of adults since gets marriage 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 the comments and us about getting my death 7 huge cleaning that i got married because i was pregnant with age, but 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 would 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. up at the teenage girls can also be exposed to many changes, possible abuse, domestic violence, sex which estimated diseases and risk pregnancy. in the presence of mind, mika lynn was a cub 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 and i went through a lot of silence and i didn't know that the kind of help that card was available who 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. let me see, cuz that again, not an easy. 2019 pleasant beach out load large on 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'm happy for the efforts that have been made the fight against the child's mortgages and house one day to witness the end of this endemic 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 minute, some 28 girls under the age of 18, i 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 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 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, 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 like lead fucking below she travel took a totally in rules on the to find out the causes and the solutions. the hello very windy by the way, but we are in control of the that'd be 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 margin. 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 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 insomnia. right now. what we 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 us puberty, they feel the best way is to get her married. really, i know, of course we have met a 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 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 print tonight. why not here? 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 you a matter of that age tend to go to like because of paula to what to do and did you want it all way you forced know 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 didn't you want to be made animals because i am too young to be married and those sticking out of the much but they will toward his korean. you are 15. is that correct? the same age that vinyl good marriage at this age would you want to be met? i would say no. because 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 that to buy a job marriage in the country. you have your subject to the lowest. you also have you of course somebody last 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 children's code at a line when the code prohibits child marriage, it's customary and statutory so that little was so pretend over all the laws that talk about child myrick, but you still have, you still have the communities that actually banking on day these custom are you laws as government days, a penalty that comes with that. uh, for example, under the uh, education act, we undertook to arrest a person who takes out

a child out of school to get them into marriage for 15 years. maximum they can go in for that's how i to then getting married. is it actually the philip? yes. or this intergenerational matter does better stop. and so 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 there wants to be helped out of overdue. 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 all getting married. you wanted to add something that's been instances where children, especially goes to get mind willingly. so these happens when they have a boyfriend, quite sure. good. so is it a been in school, especially those in boarding schools? define thing vein school. meanwhile, they are the guys days ahead of the boys to and it ends up being emerged because

parents don't once the child to bring shame to um the funding. they end up being more like it made, they end up cooking cleaning and also been beaten by the menu from is the mice at the end of the day they become more like is live, but why they have degree, they've just so maybe they possibly have the kids, they have them that in those grieve yet. yes, i think that's one of the reason is because most of the goals that die and this might just die 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 add some weight? yes. another issue that don't comment on these that these are for the government, but the angry the country. so it just got to see that as us to good, we learn from what receipts. so he has a 5 that he's married to $5.00 to $5.00. we mean and then they, they, then his wife isn't probably 18 years what it means that even the time to request 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 shouldn't, emulating what they see, what i also realize is that these 2 been exposed to images and sermon is when dave is pretty much as early as 91112. and they've been taught how to please him on and how to take care of a whole isn't abuse even of uh, 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 gonna make structures on not in place really to prevent these children from getting mad or do you also agree to that yes i do because um, in most cases, evan in evan areas, instead of having a library, we have a lot of bugs, they end up being, having like, 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 all, 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. i'm not in that a, 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 get 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 a government 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 have and i know they're not, they're not. yeah. so if they knew this, my goodness scenario, where the government is laid when television discussing is has to do with the district is could do that alone is going to make sure that people are and i can see the increase that the government hasn't the right to end up being a video of, of, of, of, fits into the sensitization is key. but also as a association i feel actually walking 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 apart and everybody has it has to be concerted efforts. so we've traditionally just would stand up with this plan voice against this and just send with because the word is low in, in, in india, india chief gums. 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 it from uh, from the marriage of costs, if she's 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 programs. so we send those to a children to go to a place where they can apply a skills that can go get the diploma certificate we need. i don't know if i would say, yeah, i believed asian centers i childhood was taken away from. so we need this thing does 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 ends as

a really needed i know for like government has a lot to do about from just as a diving and putting up programs. do you think sensitization would be enough for this in order to get something done? if you had to cut down a treat and to prevent it from going back, you have to gauge 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 decision that is going to do to complete, to indicate the issues of time, right? you know that if i to speak, if it's going to be under the big of them into either of it, that's very important discourse. what will you tell the effect 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, who wants to be getting married at a very young age isn't a good thing. i think given 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 in africa, 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 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 that a lot of the responsibility lies with the governments. in the thriving economies with a probation of basic needs, some families would not be desperate to mario if 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 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. or 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. it was a major 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 full at the endway. and then my grandmother said the man's game, and then he asked you a asked me your handing to marry as failed. why did you allow them 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 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 learn less, they'll 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 lists and filled us with a just starting to acknowledge and slowly unravel because of hulu. i say it's not good. the child's marriage, even though it's that a school,

but the we can make it means that the as well as seas in the school. 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. he wanted to have children with me and mother. i even saw myself very young to have children at that age in nevada, davis. and they have, he has to go to the clinic and get interested for family plan by doing that or know 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. and then they let us, they, they plan. and then nicely i decided believe that guy is, hey, as for sex and then i said, i'm on my bed. and then they gave 12 to 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 in education. but now a 21, she's back on track to finish secondary school. and one thing that i showed them in but is the name that they're giving that y'all didn't on that mendoza had deadlines that sent him to school and never had to manage that fence and begin somebody because his parents and temp disclose the hilda is unsure 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 that has signed game, let's go relieve some stress in been in from beaches to history and then biggest c
