Before:
At just 13, Amina was forced into marriage in northern Nigeria. Her education stopped, and she became pregnant by 14. She faced health complications and lost all hope for a future beyond survival.
The Turning Point:
A local NGO that supports girls affected by early marriage reached out to Amina. With their help, she left the marriage, moved into a safe shelter, and resumed school. She was offered trauma counseling, legal support, and vocational training.
After:
Now 22, Amina holds a diploma in social work and leads a campaign against early marriage in her region. She has helped over 200 girls access education and support services.

“I was once silenced, but now I speak for thousands.”
