PRES RELEASE: A girl is married every 30 seconds in countries ranked as fragile states and with high child marriage rates, with about 32 million adolescent girls living in these emergency hotspots. ⬇️ https://t.co/g4FBITN7Fp

A country can become fragile when it's affected by crises like wars and climate disasters. Systems that are supposed to protect people have weakened, leaving girls more vulnerable to poverty, violence, and child marriage.
