UNICEF field visit to Chitungwiza

I was on a field visit with UNICEF and Youth Advocate Zimbabwe last week in Chitungwiza; I met with adolescents and young people – girls and boys – to discuss the issue of child marriage and the impact it has on the lives of many girls; I was inspired to hear the adolescents and young people express their aspirations and dreams for their future and how they felt girls should be given the same chances in life as boys, and be protected against child marriage; it was inspiring for me to hear their messages, and it reminded me that while we try to make changes in our society for the better for girls, we need to consult girls and boys and listen to what they have to say to us, and involve them in the work we do and the campaigns we develop.
