Children’s marriage is not just a problem with Kenya – According to UN children’s agency UNICEF, girls in the Sahara Africa are the highest risk of underage marriage in the world, where one of the three wedding is 18 years old Before.
As part of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, the deadline for completely eliminating children’s marriage was completely eliminated, however, UNICEF says progress to meet the goal ” You will need to be significantly sharp.
Its spread globally is decreasing – today, one in five women aged 20 to 24 was married as children, while 10 years ago one of the four was married.
The fastest growth has been in South Asia, where the risk of marriage in a girl’s childhood has decreased by more than a third.
But a recent UNICEF report states that Western and Central Africa, the region where the most spread of underage marriage, has made little progress in the last 25 years. At the current pace, it will take more than 200 years to eliminate this practice.
One of the Navi’s directors, Toby Schmidzar, says that everyone who worked on the film was excited about the project, but now the challenge is to see the film.
“The message may be very beautiful, but if no one sees a movie, no one listens to the message,” he says.
The film was screened at the UN headquarters in New York last month – and Kenya was selected for an Oscar, though it did not appear in last week’s shortlisted.
Nevertheless, the director team is happy to discuss international releases in the United States, Canada, Europe, Central Africa and Australia.
The film was released in Kenya later last year, and the longest cinema of a locally produced film in Nairobi was gone.
