2000 – 2015 SYMPOSIUM ARCHIVES

2014 Annual Symposium
Many young indigent girls transitioning from adolescence to adulthood are vulnerable to early marriage with its propensity to violence against them often because of societal prescriptions and sometimes because of the circumstances of their birth. After such marriages, many young women find that it is difficult to attend school while at the same time bearing children. They marry young in the hopes that their spouse will pay the mandatory school fees and provide for their basic subsistence needs. These young girls endure untold hardships, emotional trauma, humiliation, and even death to lift themselves out of poverty through education to become economically independent.
