Child marriage can take away choices that should belong to girls.
It can force them out of school, increase the risk of early pregnancy and limit their opportunities.
Every girl has the right to learn, make decisions and have her voice heard in her community.
#EndChildMarriage. Invest in girls’ rights. Now. #GirlGoals
