Child marriage remains one of the most urgent global human rights challenges. Today, 21% of girls are married before 18, jeopardising their education, health, and futures. The COVID-19 pandemic has put 110 million more girls at risk in the next decade, making legal reform and stronger advocacy more critical than ever.
