Preventing child marriage - Eunice's story

18-year-old Eunice has been campaigning for the rights of girls since she was 13 after joining Plan International's Champions of Change programme. "I fight for the rights of many girls who are quitting school due to being forced into marriage at a young age or who have been raped as a minor."
Using everything she learnt through the programme, Eunice has set up her own activist group where she shares the information she has acquired from Plan International with other young people. "I don't want to be the only girl fighting against child marriages. I want all of us to stick together in this fight."
In addition to her activism, Eunice is a keen footballer and is a member of her local girls' team. "People in our community used to think that football was only for boys. But as we are now fighting against gender inequality, the girls are taking part as well. Together, we're combining two activities: social activism and girls' sports."
