Child march to protest risks of early marriage Monday

SANA'A, Feb. 21 (Saba) - The
democratic School, the Child Secretariat General, is to organize next Monday a child
march
in Sana'a to protest the risks of early marriage. Hundreds of children will walk
from Altahrir square to Parliament and hand a letter to MPs urging to pass
legislation for
fixing the minimum marriage age at 17 years. The march will start 10:00 am. The
paper to be handed to Parliament is signed by a million people including
coordinators and
supporters of the school from all provinces. Parliament has twice discussed the
legislation to fix marriage age. FR
