"Some of my friends get married because their parents are afraid of sexual harassment and kidnapping”, says Muzoon (second from right), a 16-year-old refugee girl from Syria, who advocates against early child marriage at Azraq refugee camp. “They believe they save their daughters lives, but my married friends don’t go to school anymore.”
More and more Syrian refugee parents wed their daughters at a young age because they fear for their daughter’s life within the new surroundings. “Many parents tell us that they don’t see any other solution than arranging a marriage for their daughters”, says Salam Kanaan, CARE country director in Jordan. The consequence: early pregnancies, putting mother and child at an increased health risk.
At Azraq camp, CARE provides safe spaces, where children can play and activities for women and girls, so they can exchange their experiences.
The five girls are part of the editorial team of a camp magazine CARE is launching. They want to write about their own experiences of flights and how it is to grow up in Azraq Camp. “Children here have experienced war – some of them for more than three years. This shows in their drawings and in the stories they tell. We want to help them process some of these memories and feel that they have a safe space,” explains CARE staff Hiba.
