Vaillante

24-year-old child marriage activist, Sali, is on a mission to end the harmful practice of child marriage.

The tale of Adi's uncertain future and Sali's painful past shows the devastating impact child marriage can have over multiple generations as well as the bravery it takes to speak out against it.
