“Girls Shouldn’t Give Up On Their Studies”
Pregnant Girls’ and Adolescent Mothers’ Struggles to Stay in School in Mozambique
Mozambique
The humanitarian situation in northern Mozambique continued to deteriorate amid attacks by an ISIS-linked group locally known as “Mashababos” or Al-Shabab. The ongoing conflict has displaced almost a million people across Cabo Delgado. Education has been significantly disrupted as non-state armed groups attacked schools and Mozambican armed forces continued to use schools as military bases and ammunition depots. The government introduced a draft law ostensibly to counter money laundering and terrorist financing that would undermine the work of civil society groups and freedom of association in the country. Government security forces continued to use excessive force to disperse peaceful protesters and opposition party members.
