Child brides and violence against women and girls

One in three girls around the world routinely experience violence, according to the United Nations. 

And child marriage remains a problem for many girls, some as young as 9 years old!

October 11 is International Day of the Girl Child. 

To mark the day, the Christian aid organisation World Vision has launched an Australian initiative called “1,000 voices for 1,000 girls”.

Mel Carswell is World Vision’s Australian spokesperson.
