NADA FOUNDATION

FOR PROTECTION CHILDREN RIGHTS

Chairman



After compliments, Allow me to introduce myself, I am Nada Al-Ahdal (born February 2, 2002) a human rights activist and resident of Yemen known for escaping two different child marriage pacts which my parents had arranged it for me. In 2013, I posted a YouTube video decrying child marriage showcasing my story and my experience in being forced into marriage contracts, which quickly went viral and prompted coverage of Yemen’s continued practice of child marriage.

I managed to influence the comprehensive national dialogue conference in Yemen to pass and apply a law of criminalizing the marriage of minors under the age of 18 , and that is after launching my first video to rally the international media to denounce the marriage of minors.
