Hi Global Citizen,


I’m Payzee Mahmod. As a survivor of child marriage, I’ve dedicated my life to
the fight against gender-based violence.



In my work with IKWRO - Women's Rights Organisation <[link removed]>, I
spend my days campaigning to end “honour” based abuse – such as child marriage,
female genital mutilation, virginity testing, and hymenoplasty.




This work is more important than ever. Every two seconds, a girl is married
before the age of 18. Child marriage systematically disempowers girls by
robbing them of a chance to learn, grow, and fully realise their potential.



No girl should have to experience these harmful practices.



I became an activist because my own experiences compelled me to speak out.

Taking away girls' right to choose who and when they marry is a violation of
their bodily autonomy.



Child marriage violates the fundamental right to sexual and reproductive
health.



It’s a fight for justice, for freedom, and for women's rights. And it’s a
fight to give people the freedom of choice against oppression.



In these 16 days of Activism join me and millions of Global Citizens in the
fight against child marriage. <[link removed]>

TAKE THE CHALLENGE <[link removed]>

With immense hope,

Payzee and the Global Citizen team
