Muzoon Almellehan

Muzoon Almellehan (Arabic: مزون المليحان; born 1999) is a Syrian activist and refugee resettled in the United Kingdom.

In early 2014, her family moved to Jordan when the fighting became severe in 2014 and lived in refugee camps for three years.

When her family fled from Daraa for the first time to take refuge in the Jordan refugee camps, she claims that all she took with her were her books because education was the most important thing for her.

[1] The family was brought to Newcastle two and a half months later,[5] being among the first Syrian refugees admitted to the UK.

Child marriage, although not particularly common in Syria, increased dramatically after the civil war began.

[6][7] Almellehan became known for trying to persuade parents to leave their children, particularly girls, in refugee schools rather than making them marry early.
