In Malawi, only 45 per cent of girls stay in school past the 8th grade. With one in every two girls married before the age of 18, child marriage and pregnancy remain the main causes for this high dropout rate.
Child marriage has devastating impacts on the realisation of the rights of the child, from her right to an adequate education, to her right to sexual and reproductive health. Girls who have left school have few opportunities to earn a living, which leaves them exposed to various forms of gender-based violence.
When Chief Theresa Kachindamoto returned to her village, she was shocked to meet a young 13 year-old mother who had been forced to marry. She knew then that she was going to make it her life mission to end the practice of child marriage.
