Girls in Their Own Voices

Created in partnership with the Women’s Rights Advancement and Protection Alternative and Isa Wali Empowerment Initiative, N-Map produced Girls in Their Own Voices in order to shift the conversation around child marriage in Nigeria, and take an innovative approach to discussing the practice.

"Girls in Their Own Voices" avoids the common trap of portraying young women solely as victims, or shaming the cultural practice. Instead, it centralizes girls themselves as powerful advocates. Through their stories of how child marriage affected and affects their lives, "Girls in Their Own Voices" rebuts the common myth that child marriage doesn’t exist in contemporary Nigeria--a myth often employed to obstruct the passage of policies and laws with potential for meaningful change.
