Globally 23 girls under the age of 18 are married every minute, and the numbers are rising amidst the pandemic.
Join us on June 2 as we speak with Dola, a young changemaker from Bangladesh, who is mobilizing teenagers like herself to build a Bangladesh free of child marriage. In the last two years, Dola and her team have stopped more than 600 child marriages and she is only getting started.
