Day Of The Girl: End Child Marriage!
I'm doing this blog-post to help raise awareness about girls and childmarriage.
❝Child marriage robs 10 million girls a year of their childhood. A harmful traditional practice, child marriage denies girls their rights to health, education and security.
“Great change can happen within a single generation. I know this to be true.”
− Desmond Tutu.
In this new video from Girls Not Brides, Graça Machel, Mary Robinson and Desmond Tutu of The Elders call on people around the world to action: to end child marriage in a single generation.❞
FACTS:
• If we do nothing, 100 million girls will become childbrides in the next decade.
• Girls under 15 are 5 times more likely to die in childbirth than women in their 20s.
• The children of childbrides are 60% more likely to die in their 1st year of life than children born to mothers over 19.
• Childmarriage denies girls the educational & economic opportunities to help lift her & her family out of poverty.
• 1 in 3 girls in the developing world is married before 18; 1 in 7 girls is married before the age of 15.
• Childmarriage violates girls' right to health, education, security and choice about when & whom they marry.
