While I agree with Seod in most aspects but it is too optmistic to expect that matters of this nature can be regulated by the law. We will need to invest heavily in changing the cultural mindset where one is regarded as ripe for marriage the moment they start menstruating and it does not matter at what age. we need to invest heavily in girls education so that they should not always think that getting married is being more human or normal.
Go Seodi go its a good cause for the girl child of Malawi don’t be deterred by negative comments by these male chauvunists.
Seodi Mnthali-White, bravo on your good work. Service is our rent for the air we breathe and you my sister have paid forward indeed. I have read the comments with great interest, I applaud the effort to make the girl child safer. This is one facet of the mixed bag of solutions, you expertise is in the legal field hence you have chosen to fix the laws. Those in the poverty alleviation, education, health, youth development sectors should also do their part. Together we can save a generation and a nation.

Iwe chi Seodi, why are you peddling lies? You mean in the villages you went to all the women you found were under 18 except two?

Well done, Seodi – your devotion and courage on women issues and gender equality is excellent. Do not be discouraged by men who are misogynistic and look down upon women and stupidly think girls and women will continue being tortured and remain second class citizens. The world is changing and though slow a f painful patriachal culture is melting. Also don’t let negative comments about you bring single derail your efforts on gender equality. Bravo!
aaaaaaaaa demeti. … to hell wit white
Surely much as I also sympathize with you Seodi White, Malawi has a lot of work to do to reverse the knack. I take an example of a 13 year old girl being impregnated by a fellow classmate. What do parents do? Behavioral change lessons should go far and wide. Poverty and high illiteracy levels are impacting on us badly. I know the battle will be won, but not now. But still these girls have a big responsibility to decide. They should not be left out. They are the ones who pull down the pants but for what? Money, peer… Read more »
My God please help us!
Bravo sister
