TEDxTalk Annu Kumari
Listen to how Anu, married at 3, fought caste panchayat (village elders) for years to survive her illegal child marriage, and vowed to save every other child from this scourge. She has now trained thousands of children in saying “no” to accepting childhood marriage as their fate. When her family married her 3 elder sisters (all still children), she had to be married to break the inauspicious number 3, making her the unlucky number 4 in the process. Annu Kumari lives in a very small village in rural Rajasthan. She is a Child Rights activist, fighting against the injustice of child marriage in rural India. She has worked with hundreds of children educating them on their rights to say “No” to child marriage and honouring this illegal pact made between their parents. Through their organisation Mahila Jan Adhikar Samiti and the HAQ Center for Child Rights, they have saved thousands of children from this injustice. This vibrant young woman aims to remove this social ill completely from India and from the world and looks for collaborations worldwide to fulfil on her dreams.”
