A youth organisation, My Age Zimbabwe Trust has embarked on a massive exercise of conscientising youths in rural areas on the recent court ruling that outlaws child marriages.
My Age Zimbabwe advocacy and communications officer, Tinotenda Kabai, said that a team of about 30 youths was currently in Chivi, Masvingo conducting awareness campaigns over the issue.
"About 30 young girls have been trained as ambassadors that will lead the cause to end the plight of the girl child," said Kabai
My Age Zimbabwe is a youth-led organisation that uses communication modes such as music, drama, social media, spoken word poetry, sporting activities that appeal to young people.
The organisation has seen it necessary to empower and equip the youth with life skills, decision-making, knowledge on sexual and reproductive health, raising awareness on topical issues that concern the young people.
