Forced into early motherhood, a child rape survivor in the Comoros fights stigma to finish school

Mariama was raped at a neighbour’s home when she was just 13 years old and forced into early motherhood. The Comoros already has high rates of gender-based violence, but many more women and girls don’t report being assaulted or abused for fear of social stigma, discrimination and even financial destitution. © UNFPA Comoros/Melvis Kimbi
