  • NepalUNICEF reports that child marriage has impacted 5 million adolescents in Nepal, placing the country among those with the highest rates of child marriage in Asia. TYTW protects high-risk children in Nepal through its leadership scholarship program. In addition to school supplies, books, uniforms, and school transportation, TYTW has provided thousands of days of schooling to 25 children who might otherwise be forced to marry. Scholarships and FellowshipsSince December 2020, TYTWs Emerging Photographers Fellowship supports emerging local photojournalists in countries and areas of deep gender disparity globally, whose original reporting covers the issue of child marriage and marginalized girls. Through seed funding, granting of top-tier professional photography equipment and mentorship from respected industry leaders, this highly selective program invests in a new generation of visual storytellers, empowering each grantee to hone their craft, nurture their prolificacy, and advance the global body of original documentation and thought leadership on ending the practice of child marriage. In 2023, TYTW awarded the Emerging Photographers Fellowship to the Young Lionesses, an ambitious photography collective of child marriage survivors in Samburu County, Kenya. TYTW supported a small cohort of Boko Haram abduction survivors in Nigeria through its Leadership Scholarships program as well. In the U.S., TYTW honored Bibi Aisha with our Girls Champion Award for her continued advocacy. The award included scholarship funds to support her pursuit of a high school equivalency diploma. Bibi Aisha first gained international attention in 2010 when she appeared on TIME magazines cover, her mutilated face symbolizing the brutal gender-based violence faced by Afghan women under the Taliban.Media AdvocacyIn 2023, TYTW reached millions worldwide, shedding light on the devastating effects of child marriage through evocative, girl-centered multimedia storytelling and original reporting. The organizations deeply moving multimedia exhibition, Girls on the Brink: Holding on to Fragile Futures, was featured at the International Peace Conference in Birmingham, Alabama, engaging several hundred attendees, including global thought leaders from academia, government, public safety, religion, business, and community service. TYTW also collaborated with Photoville, New Yorks renowned photography event showcasing work by celebrated photographers, to exhibit Broken Promises: Navigating a World Under Taliban Rule. This powerful two-week exhibition drew over 1,000,000 visitors, including 800 students and educators. In March 2023, TYTWs message reached further into the public eye when Stephanie Sinclairs evocative photographs of high-profile survivor Bibi Aisha was once again featured in TIME magazine, accompanying an in-person interview and guest editorial by Academy Award-winning actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie. TYTWs storytelling in 2023 appeared in numerous globally-recognized media outlets including CNN, The New York Times, The Star, and TIME.
