Malawiโs First Female Chief Dedicates Her Career to Ending Child Marriage
According to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, every year, at least 12 million girls are married before they reach the age of 18. This is particularly worrisome in Malawi, where about 46% of girls will be married before they turn 18, with some as young as age 9 or 10 being forced to marry.
