Stopping Early Marriages in Africa

UNICEF helps to begin changing attitudes towards early marriage in Niger

In several communities across Africa, a young girl often does not have a say in whether and whom she will marry. It is the parents, both the man’s and the girl’s, who make the decision. In Niger, 1 out of 2 girls is married before the age of 15. But change is slowly taking place.
