After they had escaped the war in Syria, Muzon and her family settled in a refugee camp in Jordan. They had little idea what to expect, and the change was tough. Back home, Muzon and the three younger members of the family each had their own room but now the whole family was forced to share a single tent where they slept, cooked and washed.
Fortunately, Muzon’s biggest fear -that there would be no schools in the camp- soon disappeared. She took summer classes to understand and cope with the new Jordanian curriculum before passing the grade-nine exams.
As she continued her schooling, she noticed that many of her fellow pupils stopped attending classes, often girls around her own age. She heard about one girl who had dropped out and was trying to sell her schoolbooks. Muzonsought her out and convinced her to change her mind. A campaigner was born.
“After that, I began speaking for education at any time and in any place. To my friends, their parents, neighbours or even just girls I met in the street,” she says. She has also fought against the widely held belief by most parents within the camps that early marriage is the best way to secure the future of young female refugees.
“When I hear of people not letting their daughters go to school or marrying them off early, it makes me angry,” she says. “Education is the armour that will protect you in life. If you get married before finishing your education, you won’t be able to solve your own problems or educate your own children.”
When I first met Muzon in Azraq a week ago, where the family moved a little over a year ago, it was hard to imagine this neat, polite young woman going door-to-door to talk parents into letting their daughters attend school.
