Personnel assigned to the NATO-led KFOR mission conducted an awareness-raising campaign about early marriages, which often occur under the age of 16 and represent a serious form of gender-based violence and human rights violation.

During these meetings, a female KFOR soldier emphasised the importance of education, attending school, and the detrimental effects of early marriage on girls’ future prospects.
