Project Soar’s Post

Dear Friends, I am deeply honored to receive recognition for my efforts leading @projectsoar in empowering marginalized girls and championing their leadership to fight against child marriage in #Morocco. This award was presented at an inspiring, Africa-wide symposium dedicated to girls’ rights, where I had the privilege of standing alongside incredible individual and institutional awardees from 9 countries: Chad, Sweden, Tunisia, Nigeria, Morocco, Senegal, Mauritania, Switzerland, and Guinea. Since 2017, Project Soar has been unwavering in its commitment to ending child marriage. We have conducted 380 child marriage workshops that have reached thousands of teen girls in Morocco, Uganda, and Syria. We also have organized 97 community dialogues to develop locally driven solutions against child marriage. Hundreds of trained Soar girl activists have been tireless advocates, championing the rights of teen girls to remain free of #childmarriage. They have brought their voices to ministers, parliamentarians, local officials, and UN agency leaders, fighting for every girl’s right to complete her education and choose marriage only as an adult. The reality remains stark: 12 million girls are married as children every year—12 million too many❗️Our collective work must continue until every girl can fulfill her potential🌷 A heartfelt thank you to ICDiplomacy @thenewafricamagazine, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and CNDH for organizing such a meaningful event and beautiful awards ceremony. Your recognition fuels our mission at Project Soar and the hard work of the entire team, as well as honors the resilience of all the girls we serve.💪❤️
