🚫 Early/ child marriage is a human rights violation and has adverse effects on the children (overwhelmingly girls) who enter into these marriages, and on their future children, creating an intergenerational cycle of disadvantage. Sometimes referred to as early marriage, child marriage is defined as a marriage occurring when one of spouses is younger than 18 years at the time of marriage or official union . 💘Factors  that contribute to child marriage include economic drivers, such as incentives to marry out girls to reduce the financial burden on the household or receive the bride price. Other factors include social norms and the need to reinforce social ties and perceived protection. That is, parents often believe that they may be able to improve their social status through their daughter’s marriage, linking two families together. 😏 Alternatively, parents may hold the belief that by marrying their daughter at an early age, she will be protected from sexual abuse, unwanted pregnancies and the risk of sexually transmitted infections. 🎤 Negative health consequences of child marriage include poorer maternal health, increased risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, intimate partner violence and maternal mortality. #LET #US #HELP #THEGIRL #CHILD

Stop this! Ceasefire now! There must be a safe haven somewhere in Gaza defined, this in combination with assisted humanitarian corridors and free movement of aid. The real solution to the situation comes from that point on, and is dialog & nonviolent interaction as equals. Only this will lead to mutual understanding & empathy, melting hatred... opening the path to sustainable peace and solving the conflict forever. In the short-term it implies: -1- Safe & assisted humanitarian corridors -2- A secured place to go to, and aid supplied (now there is none) -3- An internationally guaranteed trustworthy possibility to return home (and help to rebuild it) as soon as Hamas' military infrastructure is dismantled -4- A peace building-process built on dialog, equality, and mutual understanding.... www.pax.ngo
