the Swiss civil society organization Masanga Education and Assistance. 2016.

Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Stephanie Sinclair has used her images to put faces to some of the world’s most serious gender and human rights issues. Her multimedia series, Too Young to Wed, which Sinclair also shepherded into a global nonprofit, addresses the deeply troubling practice of early, forced and child marriage around the world today.
