津巴布韦女孩正在将Nhanga传统转化为反对童婚、促进教育和两性平等的运动。 Zimbabwean girls are transforming the Nhanga tradition into a movement against child marriage, promoting education and gender equality.

在津巴布韦,传统Nhanga做法曾经用来通过提交课程为年轻女孩进行童婚做准备,现在正在转变为由青年主导的运动,促进教育、两性平等和抵制早婚。 In Zimbabwe, the traditional Nhanga practice, once used to prepare young girls for child marriage through lessons in submission, is being transformed into a youth-led movement promoting education, gender equality, and resistance to early marriage. 现在成为讨论性和权利问题的安全空间,沙姆瓦的女童人数从20人增加到200多人,学校采用这种模式,社区执行反童婚规则,包括因女童教育而收买奶牛的罚款。 Now a safe space for discussions on sexuality and rights, it has grown from 20 to over 200 girls in Shamva, with schools adopting the model and communities enforcing anti-child marriage rules, including fines paid in cows held for girls’ education. 像法律系学生萨曼塔·奇多(Samantha Chidodo)和安妮塔·拉佐(Anita Razo)等导师一样, 前儿童新娘强调该举措在增强女孩权能、挑战根深蒂固的文化规范方面的作用。 Former child brides, like law student Samantha Chidodo, and mentors such as Anita Razo highlight the initiative’s role in empowering girls and challenging deep-rooted cultural norms. 倡导者强调,改变社会态度是终止童婚的关键,这种婚姻影响到18岁前每三个女孩中就有一个女孩。 Advocates stress that changing social attitudes is key to ending child marriage, which affects one in three girls before age 18.
