Candle has been lit in Remembrance of Yemen


A CANDLE HAS BEEN LIT BY LUMIERE 
IN REMEMBRANCE OF YEMEN.
Yemen's Draft Constitution has set the minimum age for marriage 
at 18; the Draft still needs to be approved.
Our remembrance goes to all who courageously 
act to better the lives of young girls.
