Syria Refugee Girls Draw Images of Forced Marriage

Syrian girls at the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan recently attended sessions designed to raise awareness of the dangers of child marriage.

A new report by Save the Children titled “Too Young To Wed” has revealed that amongst the many devastating effects of the civil war in Syria is the increase in the number of forced marriages of Syrian refugee girls in Jordan, where the rate of child marriage has doubled from 13% in pre conflict times
