- Payzee Mahmod was coerced into a marriage when she was only 16. She escaped that marriage and has since exposed the effects of forced marriage on children across the world.
She told us her story and discussed the change in legislation in England and Wales that will raise the legal age of marriage.
Child marriage is often associated with domestic abuse, leaving education early, limited career opportunities, and serious physical and mental health problems. The change honours the Government’s commitment to the pledge made to the United Nations to end child marriage by 2030.

Im reading your sisters book, no safe place. I feel so sad. I used to wonder about banaz but now all you sisters are always in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing ❤
Payzee, thank you for your work, and for your courage ❤
Thank you, your doing all your sister’s proud!
The memory of Banaz's tragic and senseless torture and murder has left an indelible mark on my heart. It's a painful reminder that she should have lived a life full of joy, hope, and promise, but was instead cut short by cruel and senseless violence. I am in awe of their sister Bekhal, who showed extraordinary courage by testifying against their family members - knowing she would spend the rest of her life in witness protection. Payzee's strength and resilience are an inspiration to us all, and I have immense admiration for her. The fact that she, along with other brave women like her, have chosen to stand up against the forces of oppression and speak truth to power is a testament to their unwavering commitment to justice and human dignity. Thank you to Payzee and all those who have fought for change, for their bravery and selflessness have saved lives and brought hope to countless others.
Ive seen her sister's case so tragic may she forever R.I.P.
You are brave.
This is why we shouldnt just accept or excuse certain things because they are "cultural." Not every culture is good, and some need to be stigmatised and stopped
Keep going lass!! ❤❤❤ amazing work, keep doing what you're doing x
Congratulations on your accomplishment!! Thank you for making a difference!!!!
God bless you . Your courage and strength is tremendous. May your sister rest in peace knowing the difference you have made ♥️💕
These people are crazy
Why is bekhal under police protection and hiding and payzee is openly able to speak of her abuse? Im just wondering praying for her safety too.
I dont think bekhal is in hiding anymore. Her pictures are online..i think thats bekhal.
Banaz would be proud of you!
