ABSTRACT

Sara is a 19-year-old adolescent girl from the Syrian refugee community in Jordan. She joined the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence Jordan participatory research group for married girls in 2019. She has two young children. The group has been meeting regularly for more than four years, engaging in thematic discussions and participatory photography. During Covid the authors used an online app – it was their communication channel, they used it for either camera and sound, or just using sound. And they even spoke with girls from other countries (Lebanon). They gain knowledge, they express their opinions, they can express their opinion in the sessions but they are unable to do that outside. They learn more, they understand subjects further, they take new ideas about the community… When you tell us stories about girls who are married young, they didn’t know the risks before.
