WHO Raises Alarm Over Global Burden of Child Marriage

World Health Organization shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Globally, 1 in 5 girls is married before the age of 18.

Child marriage is not only a major risk factor for early pregnancy, it also increases risk of:

  • Violence
  • Dropping out of school
  • Mental health conditions
  • HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections

Every girl deserves health, education and the ability to shape their future.”
