Early Marriage?

.. is the marriage of children and adolescents below the age of 18.
The "practice of marrying girls at a young age is common in South Asia".
There are specific parts of South Asia where marriages before puberty are not unusual. However, the Centre also notes that marriage shortly after puberty is common among those living traditional lifestyles in the Middle East, North Africa and other parts of Asia. Marriages of female adolescents between sixteen and eighteen are common in parts of Latin America and Eastern Europe.

ImageSAWA is an association of Asian women living in Switzerland, established in Zürich.

Thanks to Mrs Dany Freytag, a member of this association, a diner party will be held in favour of our actions in Cambodia. There will be a typical Khmer meal, and the guests will have the privilege of being shown four videos of our actions in Cambodia. The dinner party is sold out and will be held on the 18th of November.
 
 
ImageThis financial aid is going to be very welcome to our NGO, as our finances are running very low. We’ve had a visit from the accountant of SAWA, who took advantage of a trip to Asia to come and see our work in the field. In my opinion, this was a very good idea, as we have nothing to hide and are very proud of showing our actions here. Gabriela, the SAWA accountant, left convinced of the good result our actions have had but also of the emergency of our mission. We encourage enthusiastically the arrangement of different types of events, as they enable us to carry on with the concrete work we do in the field.
