Married and divorced at fourteen

Zohra Bensemra, Reuters' chief photographer for north west Africa, took this photo of Somali 14-year-old Zeinab applying make up before she goes to school.

Zeinab and her family left their home because of the drought and moved to a camp in Dollow, Somalia. Zohra describes how Zeinab was forced to marry a man for money but fought for a divorce just days later.
