Day of the African Child

On Sunday, June 16, the world will commemorate the Day of the African Child under the theme, "Early Marriage and its Consequences". In a guest column for AllAfrica, youth advocate Yemurai Nyoni writes that African leaders have failed to safeguard the rights of women, and as a result "being a young African woman is perhaps the most perilous form of identity in the continent".
