Let Me Keep My Childhood Campaign - Lebanon
BY JUMAN ABUJBARA
Since 2019, Women Now for Development, in partnership with Ahel Foundation for Community Organizing, has been supporting the “Let Us Keep Our Childhood” campaign in the Central Bekaa Valley, Lebanon. It is a grassroots campaign fully led by constituencies that are affected by child marriage. The campaign is predominantly led by women, as well as adolescent girls, men and adolescent boys from the Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian communities living in the Bekaa Valley.
The campaign is based on the methodologies of community organizing and participatory leadership, which intersect with our transformative feminist approach, all of which push towards grassroots community change.
