Summary edit

Description

Bossena (blue t-shirt) got married when she was 15. She’s now divorced. “The groomsmen forced my husband to sleep with me on the night after the wedding. It was such a shock, I was so small. When I woke up in the morning I could barely walk. I was bleeding.

“When my husband and I fought he used to beat me. I would run away to my parents’ house but they would send me back. This happened for a long time. Eventually my family decided that my life was worth more than the marriage.”

Girls and women everywhere have the right to live free from violence and discrimination. Help end child, early and forced marriage in a generation. Take the pledge now: www.girlsummitpledge.com
