YWCA is fighting to #endchildmarriage 🤚🏻 All children have the right to a safe childhood. “Child marriage is a marriage of a girl/boy before the age of 18. It refers to both formal marriages and informal unions in which children under 18y live with a partner as if married.

South Asia has the highest rates of child marriage in the world. Almost 50% of women aged 20-24 y reported being married before the age of 18. Almost 1/5 girls are married before the age of 15.” (@unicef ). It happens in Europe as well. @girlsnotbrides_ estimates that 2-10% of girls are married at 18y in Ukraine, Moldova, Macedonia, Albania and Belarus.
