Girls Not Brides 202d ago

After finishing university, Patricia joined a charity in rural Kenya. There, she came face to face with the practice of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), where girls, still children, were treated as adults ready for marriage. She saw how this robbed them of their childhood, their education, and the chance to imagine their futures as teachers, doctors, or leaders. Patricia committed herself to protect children and end child marriage. She believes meaningful change comes through collaboration and is calling on more organisations to come together to build a world where girls are free to choose if, when, and whom to marry. #MovementMakers #16DaysOfActivism #endchildmarriage #kenya #girlsrights 00:00 Introduction 00:29 My childhood 01:14 My purpose 03:44 The power of collective action Music: No Time To Remember, Remember The Future (Shutterstock) Check out last year’s inspiring stories from the 2024 #MovementMakers: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8ToDO5LXZ7pejZrTeOsIKAzcACc2zvYO
