津巴布韦农村的Nhanga传统演变成由女孩推动的反对童婚运动,并辅以辅导、教育和社区执法。 Rural Zimbabwe’s Nhanga tradition evolves into a girl-powered movement against child marriage, backed by mentorship, education, and community enforcement.

在津巴布韦农村地区,传统的Nhanga聚会正在转变为同侪领导的运动,赋予女孩抵制童婚的能力。 In rural Zimbabwe, the traditional Nhanga gathering is being transformed into a peer-led movement empowering girls to resist child marriage. Nhanga现在在Rozaria纪念信托基金的支持下,为讨论性健康、教育和经济独立提供了安全的场所。 Originally a rite of passage for marriage preparation, Nhanga now provides safe spaces for discussions on sexual health, education, and economic independence, supported by the Rozaria Memorial Trust. 该倡议扩展到津巴布韦各地以及赞比亚和塞拉利昂,涉及辅导、技能培训和社区参与,包括酋长执行反童婚规则,对女童教育的奶牛处以罚款。 The initiative, expanding across Zimbabwe and into Zambia and Sierra Leone, involves mentorship, skills training, and community engagement, including chiefs enforcing anti-child marriage rules with fines paid in cows for girls’ education. 尽管贫穷和文化规范的挑战持续存在,但儿童基金会报告说,三分之一的女孩在18岁前结婚,如法学院学生萨曼莎·奇多多(Samantha Chidodo)赞扬Nhanga,恢复了她们的未来,展示了从文化上解决长期社会问题的方法。 Despite persistent challenges from poverty and cultural norms—UNICEF reports one in three girls marry before 18—participants like law student Samantha Chidodo credit Nhanga with reclaiming their futures, showcasing a culturally rooted solution to a lasting social issue.
