The Nada Foundation has adopted a project that helps girls who were forced to marry early, and those who have been subjected to domestic violence. The project employs security services to rescue underaged girls and protect them according to the guidelines provided in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, a treaty ratified by Yemen.<\/p>\n Learn More<\/a> The Foundation runs an awareness program to address the public\u2019s misperceived benefits of the tradition of early marriage. Concerns for traditional values and questions regarding the Rights of the Child, to which Yemen is bound under International Law, are addressed, and the damage done to society and individuals by this practice are effectively enumerated and explained.<\/p>\n Learn More<\/a> Advocacy for the Underage Girls:<\/strong> Learn More<\/a> This project has been funded to educate 10,000 children between the ages of 13 and 18.

\nCurrently there are no local laws protecting underage girls from domestic violence and other human rights abuses in Yemen. The Nada Foundation advocates for girls by creating social dialogue and changing public opinion about these unjust practices. In bringing these topics into public discourse, the foundation sheds light on perpetrators of abuse, creating hope for girls.<\/p>\n
