In many countries across Africa， the right of the firstborn male， or closest male relative， to inherit family property - is still standard practice. Women are denied the right to inherit the family estate purely because of their gender， a custom that is upheld by some traditional leaders. But four sisters in Botswana did something that no-one there thought was possible - they took on tradition and won. Last month， a five-year legal struggle ended with a landmark victory to Edith Mmusi （80） and her three sisters Bakhani Moima （83）， Jane Lekoko （77）， and Mercy Ntsehkisang （68）. Inside her modest home in a village in Kanye， a small town south of the capital Gaborone， Ms Mmusi has a wry smile as she speaks of the lengthy case. "It took resilience and courage to get this far. It was a stressful time for the family that gave me many sleepless nights. I am glad it is finally over，" she says.

世界正经历巨大变化，如今25岁以下的年轻人越来越多，达到30亿，相当于总人口的一半。但很遗憾的是，这些年轻人却得不到充分的机会，没有足够的就业岗位，相反，更易遭受由于气候变化和城市拥挤带来的各种灾害的冲击。经济危机中，劳动力市场中的年轻人所遭受的打击格外严重，他们极易被裁员，经受失业、不完全就业的痛苦，在低生产力的工作岗位上苦苦挣扎；同时也丧失了潜在的对青年人密集地区投资的人口红利。 正是这些因

鉴于低龄结婚给女童带来的影响和危害，国际上很多人权组织都曾对此给出过不同程度的评价和指责：童婚“偷走”了全世界数百万女孩天真的童年，而且还常导致她们陷入贫困、无知、遭受暴力、性虐待、健康不良甚至更为窘迫的生活，是当今世界发展的最大障碍之一。 暴力和性虐待 在童婚流行的地区，遭受暴力和性虐待几乎成为了众多“娃娃新娘”婚后共同的经历。2013年9月，一场童婚惨案在也门西北部哈杰省上演。小女孩拉万年
