The Preventing and limiting Early Marriage Program has become a major component of combating domestic violence. The program seeks to reverse the trend of early marriages by empowering families at risk where it is implemented in the neighbouring villages of Ramallah that includes Home Supervision, empowerment self-awareness for school girls and young women, family abuse, and study days and international seminars on subjects needed.
We would like to thank the BMZ and Caritas Germany in the name of the families, for their support and friendship to making this program possible in the villages North West of Jerusalem. |
