Each year, 15 million girls marry before the age of 18 around the world. Breaking this down - every day 41,000 girls get married; every minute 28 girls get married; every 2 seconds a girl gets married. In Sub-Saharan Africa, it is projected that the number of child brides could double by 2050. On average, 1 out of 4 girls in Ghana is married before their 18th birthday. These statistics from UNICEF and Ghana’s Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) show the worrying trends of child marriage across the world which has necessitated the global call for action to eliminate child marriage by 2030.
