MenEngage Africa and Sonke Gender Justice and MenEngage Malawi join the government and the people of Malawi in mourning the passing of Inkosi, also known as senior chief Theresa Kachindamoto of Dedza District, Malawi, a revered leader and champion for the rights of young girls.
This devastating loss will be felt across the Maseko Ngoni Clan, Dedza District, the entirety of Malawi, the region and the MenEngage Africa alliance. The senior chief and activist Kachindamoto was installed in 2003 and dedicated her life to ending practices such as child marriages in Malawi. In 2016, Al Jazeera reported that Chief Kachindamoto had broken up 850 child marriages in three years and banned the sexual initiation of young girls.
