Rose Mollel

Rose Mollel is 8 years old and came from a family of 18 children. Her father is a polygamist with 5 wives. Her birth mother is the second of five wives. Both of her parents are illiterate and unemployed. Her father is a pastoralist and her mother is a stay-at-home parent. Her parents did
not enroll in school because they didn’t know the value of education. Rose’s father selected a husband for her and paid her dowry shortly after her birth, despite her young age and being identified as a girl. Rose is presently residing in a secluded village with her parents, assisting her mother in caring for her younger sibling and the cows as she awaits her marriage. Her older sister was married off at the age of 14 years. She is worried that she will be the next.
