Nujood Ali (Arabic: نجود علي, born 1998) is a central figure in Yemen's movement against forced marriage and child marriage. At the age of ten, she obtained a divorce, breaking with the tribal tradition.[2][3] In November 2008, the U.S. Women's magazine Glamour designated Nujood Ali as Woman of the Year, and associated her lawyer Shada Nasser to the same tribute.[3][4] Ali's courage was praised by prominent women, including Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice.[5]
Ali's lawyer Shada Nasser, born in 1964, is a feminist and specialist in human rights, whose involvement in Ali's case received much acclaim.[4][6] Ali has also written a book together with French journalist Delphine Minoui called: I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced.
