Girls Not Brides 205d ago

“I encourage girls to break barriers around them.” Janat experienced firsthand the inequality that kept many girls from school. After her father passed away, Janat's education was not prioritised, and she didn't start school until she was eight years old, when a charity offered support. Along the way, she saw countless girls unable to continue school, with families placing little value on girls’ education. Determined to break this cycle, she became the first girl in her family to graduate 🎓🎉and inspired her relatives to recognise the importance of girls’ education. Since then, other girls in her family have finished school and gone on to pursue their own paths. 🌟She began working with @justlikemychild Foundation and found her purpose: encouraging girls to break barriers and changing the story for girls in Uganda. Janat is one of many #MovementMakers striving for a world where girls are free to decide if, when, and whom to marry. During these 16 Days of Activism, celebrate their stories with us.
