She has witnessed how some of her closest relatives, who were also married off as minors, have taken their own lives by burning themselves out of desperation. The girl is even captured by ISIS, from which she miraculously escapes … This is the amazing true story of Nada Al-Ahdal – a woman full of courage, determination and compassion. Today, with her foundation „Nada Foundation“, she fights against the practice of child marriages worldwide and campaigns for the protection of girls.
