Deir Ez-zor Women's Assembly campaigning against child marriage

The Deir Ez-zor Women's Assembly launched a campaign against child marriages last Saturday.

Within the scope of the campaign, the Women's Assembly is promoting a series of meetings around villages. 

The first meetings were held in the villages of Kesra, Zixer, Al Kibir, Hemar El Ali and Hesan.

Nesrin El Ali from Deir Ez-zor Women's Assembly pointed out in comments she made to ANHA that marriage at a young age has a negative effect on the person physically and psychologically and that the society is directly affected.

Deir Ez-zor Women's Assembly will continue to tour villages and towns in the region to promote and create awareness about the campaign.
