How your celebration can help

In Kenya, it is estimated that 26% of all girls are married before they turn 18. Salome's father tried to force her to have FGM and into early marriage when she was just 12 years old. But her mother helped her to run away.

ActionAid works with young girls, like Salome, and their families to form girls’ forums. Through these forums, we enable communities like Salome’s to understand the importance of giving girls a choice about who and when they marry – meaning they can focus on securing an education and a happy future. Salome is now safe and enjoying school.
