Summary
Details

Books Before Brides is a powerful and compassionate nonfiction work that confronts the realities of early marriage, poverty, illiteracy, and child abuse across African communities. Drawing from lived experiences, fieldwork, and community engagement, Ben Adejumo presents a deeply human exploration of how harmful traditions and silence continue to endanger the girl child.

Through real-life stories, practical insights, and community-based solutions, this book reveals how education is not just a pathway to opportunity, but a critical form of protection. Each chapter is paired with reflective workbooks designed to spark conversations among parents, educators, leaders, and young people.

Written without blame or condemnation, Books Before Brides calls families and communities to rethink culture, prioritize learning, and choose empowerment over fear. It is both a guide and a movement, urging readers to protect girls, amplify their voices, and build a future where every child is allowed to grow, learn, and dream before marriage is ever considered.

This book is ideal for parents, educators, NGOs, faith leaders, social workers, and anyone committed to child protection and girl-child empowerment.
