Meet 19-year-old Helin from #Turkey, who is taking action to help #EndChildMarriage.

The high school student works with the #UnitedNations Populations Fund (UNFPA), and goes door to door to meet with families and shopkeepers to raise awareness about how child marriage affects girls' health and rights.

"There are a lot of girls who get married at an early age, are not sent to school and don't have enough information," she says, hoping to serve as a role model for many girls. “After seeing me, they say, ‘Helin can do this. If I study too, I can be like her.’"

UNFPA is working to end child marriage and protect girls around the world against lasting trauma by providing adequate information, skills, and support services.
