Hello<br>
<br>
<br>
<div class="moz-signature">As part of the endorsement phase for
#innovateAFRICA, we have released a new tweet. <br>
<br>
<font color="#ff0000">Your 12yr old daughter; a bride. Not in the
news @WikiLovesWomen places Wikipedians in Africas media
#InnovateAfrica bit.ly/WLWCb</font><br>
<br>
You are welcome to copy paste it and further disseminate it ;)<br>
<br>
As a side note... the video mentionned in that tweet was created
by CEE-HOPE, lead by Betty Abah. <br>
<br>
The video is part of a campaign against child marriage<br>
<br>
RUN is a short documentary film focusing on child marriage in
Nigeria. Though outlawed, the practice still pervades in many
parts of the country with blighting effects on girls’ development.
In this documentary by CEE-HOPE, a Nigerian NGO working with
vulnerable children/girls, a teenager is married off against her
wish; but in the end, her determination wins over as she returns
to school after childbirth.<br>
A series of expert interviews, statistical evidence from leading
global bodies on the prevalence rate as well as local
(traditional) colours add spice and substance to this short and
compelling production from CEE-HOPE.<br>
<br>
Thank you so much for your work Betty<br>
<br>
This video was freed as part of the Wiki loves Women project in
Nigeria, thanks to the amazing work conducted by Wikimedia UG
Nigeria team, lead by Shola. <br>
