In fifth grade, Tseganat Abebe got some very unwelcome news – her grandparents were arranging a marriage to a 26-year-old man, without her consent. But Tseganat happened to be a peer educator with the Her Future, Her Choice project, (partnership with @Oxfam) and she had received training on sexual and reproductive health and rights – as well as ‘assertive communication,’ just the year before. Read about how Tseganat organized her entire community to prevent her early marriage – as well as those of her friends! #InternationalYouthDay https://lnkd.in/eZbtg96W
